FREDONIA – “Hugo,” the Golden Globe-winning tale of a young orphan who lives inside the walls of a train station, is the next featured film at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House. It will be screened on Sat., Jan. 28, at 8 p.m. and Tues., Jan. 31, at 7:30 p.m. as part of the Opera House Cinema Series.

Throughout his extraordinary career, Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese has brought his unique vision and dazzling gifts to life in a series of unforgettable films. The latest for the legendary storyteller is “Hugo,” a thrilling journey to a magical world based on the award-winning best-seller “The Invention of Hugo Cabret.”

“Hugo” is the astonishing adventure of a wily and resourceful boy secretly living in a train station. His quest to unlock a secret left to him by his father will transform him and all those around him, and reveal a safe and loving place he finally can call home.

“Hugo” stars Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen, Chloë Grace Moretz and Asa Butterfield as Hugo. Director Scorsese received a Golden Globe Award for Best Director for the film, which was nominated for two additional Golden Globes, including Best Picture.

Roger Ebert, in the Chicago Sun Times, calls the film “breathtaking.” Peter Travers, in Rolling Stone, calls it “truly the stuff dreams are made of. A spectacular adventure for film lovers of all ages.” Peter Debruge, in Variety, calls it “a film for the ages.” Mike Scott, in the New Orleans Times-Picayune, says “this kind of cinematic delight is a rarity, a warm and masterfully crafted reminder of why we love to go the movies in the first place.”

Directed by Martin Scorsese, “Hugo” stars Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen, Chloë Grace Moretz (R) and Asa Butterfield (L) as Hugo.

Rated PG for mild thematic material, some action/peril and smoking, “Hugo” runs 126 minutes.
