USA/2011–directed by Martin Scorsese | 147 min.
Orphaned and alone except for an uncle, Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield) lives within the walls of a train station in 1930s Paris. Hugo's job is to oil and maintain the station's clocks, but to him, his more important task is protecting a broken automaton and a notebook left to him by his late father (Jude Law). Accompanied by the goddaughter (Chloë Grace Moretz) of an embittered toy merchant (Ben Kingsley), Hugo embarks on a quest to solve the mystery of the automaton and find a place he can call home.
Earning 11 Academy Award nominations, Hugo is a beautiful homage to early silent film and clockwork automatons.
Chassica Kirchhoff, DIA Assistant Curator of European Sculpture & Decorative Arts, will introduce this special screening with a brief presentation about The Rooster’s Crow Automaton Clock, a mechanical marvel in the DIA’s collection reminiscent of the wondrous clock in Hugo. Recommended for families with children ages 8 and up.
“A dazzling and rapturous tribute to the magic of movies.” –Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
