(Blu-ray, Paramount)
An orphaned boy is sent to live with his drunken uncle repairing clocks in a vast Paris train station. He spends his spare time trying to repair an automaton he believes carries a message from his father. He is caught stealing by the owner of a toy shop in the station and agrees to work for him as payback. He befriends the owner's young daughter, who happens to wear a necklace containing a key he needs for the automaton. They get it working, but its message is not from his father but of a mysterious drawing and signature which belong to a pioneer in early cinema long thought dead. Scorsese's paean to the films of Georges Melies threatens to become lost in its vast 3D sets, the first hour is terribly slow, but picks up considerably in the second half, especially for lovers of Melies and early film.
