Seen on 23-05-13 in Tony's home
--searched for 2012 films which received Oscar nominations and zeroed in on this because This is readily available on Netflix.
It is about a boy unexpectedly finding the lost key of a robot his father left behind and this discovery in turn leading to the man who made this robot. The man turns out to be a pioneer maker of films (Georges Milies** who preceded ? the Lumiere brothers), now living in obscurity trying to forget his glorious past in which he wove dreams through a large number of films he made.
But the film narrative is made interesting by unfolding events of early cinema through the life of boy who lost his father. Martin Scorsese's imaginative treatment of the theme is what made this film unique.
