The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar | Roald Dahl

The recent release of Wes Anderson‘s new short films based on Dahl‘s short stories had me reading up the stories before watching. The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, The Swan, The Rat Catcher, and Poison. Henry Sugar has a melancholy effect, the others are peculiar, dark and unsettling. They‘re all fantastic with brilliant performances. Recommended to watch. 👍

LeahBergen I‘m looking forward to watching these! 7mo

erzascarletbookgasm @LeahBergen Enjoy! My favourite is The Swan 😊 7mo

CarolynM I was just reading a newspaper article about these films about an hour ago! They sound great. I don‘t know that I‘m a Wes Anderson fan, but I really liked The Grand Budapest Hotel. 7mo

julesG I watched Henry Sugar and didn't know there are three more gems waiting for me. Yeah! Thanks! 7mo

batsy I haven't read the stories but I agree, the short films are wonderful. My favourite is The Swan, too, and The Rat Catcher is up there for unexpected yikes! So memorable. 7mo

rabbitprincess I am definitely watching Henry Sugar! And I agree @CarolynM The Grand Budapest Hotel was great! 7mo

sarahbarnes I need to watch these - I love Wes Anderson! His new film Asteroid City is great. 7mo

erzascarletbookgasm @CarolynM I‘ll be interested to watch Grand Budapest Hotel. My son likes it too. In fact he‘s the one that introduced me to Wes Anderson, I didn‘t know about him before 😆 7mo

erzascarletbookgasm @julesG If you like Henry Sugar and Anderson works, you‘re in for a treat! 7mo

erzascarletbookgasm @batsy I wouldn‘t have read the short stories if not for these adaptations. I‘ve only read Dahl‘s children stories, the popular ones. The Rat Catcher is definitely yikes! 🤮 7mo

erzascarletbookgasm @rabbitprincess I‘m definitely watching The Grand Budapest Hotel then! I hope you‘ll enjoy Henry Sugar. 7mo

erzascarletbookgasm @sarahbarnes Ah, you‘re a fan! I‘m just discovering his works, so quirky and creative. Not sure I‘m a fan yet. 😊 7mo

Cinfhen Yay @rohit-sawant welcome on board 🚂 5y

marleed @rohit-sawant @Cinfhen I‘d give myself a B+ at resolving a puzzle by book‘s end. But this one lowered my average - I just didn‘t know the end was coming. 5y

VanChocStrawberry Chugging along is how I feel...SO ready for the weekend! 5y

A Wrinkle in Time | Madeleine L'Engle

How do you avoid the crowds at “A Wrinkle in Time?” You go see the movie in Wichita, KS when the University of Kansas is playing in the Final Four. 😂 Let‘s hope the movie is as good as the book! #bookstomovie #TheresNoOneHere #boomersooner

Martyn_J_Pass I read 'The Road' in one sitting it was THAT good. When I went to watch the film I was still having a minor heart attack in the cannibal house even though I knew how it all turned out. Awesome book and film imo. 8y

Books_Wine_Repeat @The_Bear The Road killed me. It is one of the most suspenseful books I've read. It's so good. 8y

Martyn_J_Pass @Books_Wine_Repeat Someone said it best when, after reading The Road they had to go upstairs and check on the kids. My son was the same age as The Boy when I read it so my heart was quite literally ripped out of my chest. 8y

Books_Wine_Repeat @The_Bear Same! My oldest was only months old at the time. I don't know why I did that to myself. It's like if you're a parent you'll completely connect with the story but you won't want to read it for that exact reason. 8y

Martyn_J_Pass @Books_Wine_Repeat Ha ha ha - that's exactly it lol. I had people say 'I didn't like it' and my first question was 'do you have kids???' I don't know why we do it to ourselves either but it went down in history as one of my best reading experiences of all time. 8y

readinginthedark There's a movie of Persepolis? 😱 8y

Books_Wine_Repeat @readinginthedark Yes!! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808417/ 😏👍 8y

readinginthedark @Books_Wine_Repeat Thank you!!! 8y
