It’s a testament to Wes Anderson’s capacity for original storytelling that, among titles including The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Royal Tenenbaums, and The Isle of Dogs, his only adapted work heretofore was Fantastic Mr. Fox. Based on a Roald Dahl story of the same name, the Academy Award-nominated film made it apparent to audiences—and, apparently, to the director—that Dahl stories, with all their eccentricities, wholly suit the Andersonian style of filmmaking. Now, just under 14 years later, Anderson returns to the Dahl universe. He has released four featurettes, each based on one of Dahl’s shorter tales; The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar was the first to come out. This forty-minute picture stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Ralph Fiennes, Dev Patel, and Ben Kingsley. Though short, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar is as inventive, imaginative, and energetic as its predecessors. —Jack Sullivan
