(Spike Jonze / 2009 / USA / 101mins / cert PG)
Spike Jonze's adaptation of Maurice Sendak's adored children's book about a mischievous boy's adventure to a land of monsters. The original story is expanded with sensitivity and Jonze revels in the details and atmosphere. He also doesn't shy away from the emotional heart of the story and there are some slow and melancholy scenes which might not be appropriate for younger children. An incredible fusion of costumes, puppetry and CGI is used to bring the Wild Things to life. The best film Jim Henson never made.
The main feature is accompanied by The Solitary life of Cranes by acclaimed short film maker Eva Weber, a visual poem that explores the invisible life of a city; its patterns and hidden secrets, seen through the eyes of crane drivers working high above its streets. A audience favourite from Glimmer 2009, Hull International Short Film Festival.
