The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar

A rich man learns about a guru who can see without using his eyes. He sets out to master the skill in order to cheat at gambling. Extremely faithfully adapted from Roald Dahl’s long short story.

With The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, Wes Anderson returns to the world of Roald Dahl — and proves his distinctive style is a comfortable fit for one of the author’s sweetest stories.

The result is delightful, but it also suggests a universe that requires our own imagination to be fully realized — which is, of course, the whole point of the story.
