French visual virtuoso Jean-Pierre Jeunet (City of Lost Children, Amelie) directs this more recent English-language tale of a scientific wunderkind in the USA where it undeservingly fell through the commercial cracks. Time to discover this under seen gem – an extraordinary, unpredictable road movie that embellishes its rites-of-passage tale with enough dazzling visual flourishes to make ‘Hugo’ blush.
