It's heartwarming that Georges Méliès the master of special effects and cinemagic is recognized once again by the likes of Martin Scorcese in HUGO, his loving tribute to Méliès (as played by Ben Kingsley) and a period of silent yet extremely visually loud inspiration and technique.

+ a glorious DVD set including the restoration process out in 2012 !

See why the Smashing Pumpkins video Tonight Tonight of 1996 so inspired by A Trip to the Moon became such an award winning smash - no suprise really ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOG3eus4ZSo
