Today’s first Screening: “Wonderstruck”

Wondrously eccentric director Todd Haynes, of “Far From Heaven” and “I’m Not There” and “Carol” adapted the Brian Selznick best seller about a tale of two deaf children in different periods in time seeking the answer to a personal mystery.

Considering Haynes’ earlier work, I’m curious to see his treatment of the material and if he plays up any non-straight sexuality angle, as is his trademark.

But as it’s based on a kids’ novel by the author of “Hugo” (Cabret), we’ll see. “Wonderstruck” opens over the next month.
