Benedict Cumberbatch, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Kingsley, Dev Patel and Richard Ayoade wear many hats in this playful adaptation of Roald Dahl's short story.
One of the marvels of “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar,” a short film now available for streaming on Netflix, is that it so effortlessly distills these ongoing preoccupations while remaining utterly faithful to its source material. Not that fidelity is either a requirement or a virtue, as admirers ofAnderson’s stop-motion, feature-length Dahl-house of delights, will attest. “Henry Sugar” is a more modest affair, but also in some ways a subtler, more satisfying one.
It is Chatterjee who introduces us to Imdad Khan , a wild-haired man of mystery who, we learn, has perfected the mysterious art of seeing without the use of his eyes. Even with his peepers sealed shut and tightly blindfolded, he can walk unassisted through a bustling hospital, dodging every obstacle in his path.
Anderson, himself something of a master of counterintuitive alternatives, gives this idea its own fascinating cinematic correlative. In a film about transcending the limitations of one’s vision, he is careful not to show us everything, certain that our imaginations should do some of the visual lifting.
Henry, realizing that Khan’s secret could make him an even wealthier man than he already is, sets out to master its mysteries — only to discover, to his surprise and delight, that those mysteries have also had their way with him. Deception, he realizes, can be used to magnanimous ends, and magic, this movie amply proves, can be a force for good.
