Released last autumn Wes Anderson has written and directed four short films adapted from/inspired by Roald Dahl stories, which I've only just caught up with:
Poison, The Rat Catcher, The Swan and
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar
Thankfully - and joyously - whilst these are pretty much what you expect in Anderson style the most beguiling thing is they feel quintessentially British, although perhaps not surprising given the heavyweight troupe of actors includes Benedict Cumberbatch, Dev Patel, Ben Kingsley, Richard Adoyade and Ralph Fiennes
If you are a fan the straight to camera storybook style wont disappoint and the mix of live action with occasional animations is charming and atmospheric. With three lasting 17 minutes each and just the one at 37 minutes the complete set are easily watchable in one go, more details here -
