Tom Hanks stars in this moving drama about a young boy attempting to solve a puzzle set by his late father.
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close cert-12A
Nine-year-old Oskar Schell (Thomas Horn) was always inspired by doting father Thomas (Tom Hanks) and his playful sense of adventure.
But after Thomas died in the World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001, Oskar struggled to come to terms with the events of what he calls “the worst day.”
The troubled boy suddenly finds a key in an envelope on which his father wrote the word ‘Black’.
Could this be a final puzzle for him to solve?
With a renewed sense of purpose, Oskar sets out to track down everyone in New York with the surname Black.
Along the way he recruits the enigmatic mute (Max von Sydow) who lodges with his grandmother (Zoe Caldwell).
Adapted from Jonathan Safran Foer’s bestseller by Forrest Gump-screenwriter Eric Roth, this tearjerker from director Stephen Daldry offers a skilful blend of heartfelt emotion and engaging mystery.
