HUGO - Winner of five Oscar awards Premieres on HBO this Sun, 28th April!

I’ve always had this thing for the adventure flicks. And when they come added with a twist of history, it makes my day. One such movie is Hugo. It is a 2011 3D historical adventure drama film based on Brian Selznick's novel ‘The Invention of Hugo Cabret’ which is a story about a boy who lives alone in the Gare Montparnasse Railway Station in Paris. The boy is wrapped up in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton created by him. Somehow the automaton is a cue to solving the mystery. The boy goes on in his search of the key to make the Automaton work. And, that means… ADVENTURE OVERLOAD.

What attracts me more about this film is the fact that it centers around the Paris of 1930s. The beautiful editing, amazing location, superb art and ultimate history. It seems like a charming 3D French postcard.  All in all, a bliss in itself!
