Matt Roush says...
Writer-director Wes Anderson won his first Oscar this year for the enchanting live-action short film adaptation of Roald Dahl’s The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. Turns out that was just the beginning. Netflix re-releases the film, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Ralph Fiennes, as part of an anthology of four Dahl stories, with co-stars Ben Kingsley and Dev Patel joined by Rupert Friend and others for whimsical versions of The Swan, The Ratcatcher and Poison.
