It is once again an optical wilderness land which Todd Haynes is doing, this time even as a double «period piece». On the one hand, the story of the twelve-year-old Ben, who is looking for his father in 1977 after the death of his mother - in New York. This is filmed in Todd-Haynes colors, pictures painted with sunlight.
And on the other hand, in beautiful black and white, the other story, that of little Hanna fifty years earlier, escaped from her dearly severed divorced father first to the actress mother (Julianne Moore) and then to the brother of the New York Museum of Natural History.
In this same museum in the two different periods, pictures and stories meet. Of course there is at the end the point of the story fusion, and of course there is a lot known about this mixture of Night at the Museum and Martin Scorsese Hugo .
This is mainly due to the novel by the screenplay author Brian Selznick, of whom the novel ''The Invention of Hugo Cabret'' was already written.
The film is a collage of scenes, incantations and dramatic gimmicks. Thus, a key scene plays in the huge New York model from the 1964 world exhibition in the museum in Queens. Although the story is rather limited, the artificially aged Julianne Moore and the Ben performer have plenty of opportunities to pass Hudson past Manhattan like Godzilla and King Kong in Swiss Miniature.
Wonderstruck is a dream full of nostalgia, there is cinéphilia in it, design, museum romance and a contagious model enthusiasm. All of this is supported by a score that is always very longing with Todd Haynes, with a lot of original pieces and a lot of mood music.
You can get drunk in these two hours of cinema. But the penetration of Carol or Far from Heaven goes off this film.
