Sweeney Todd
Got a quick update coming your way for Sweeney Todd. I have been salivating over some of Todd's pies since the film's first trailer, and now we are being told that the latest Burton-Depp creation is as delicious as we all had hoped.
Early Review: Sweeney Todd
The good people over at AICN have posted the first review for Sweeney Todd and they claim the film is the cat's pajamas.
SWEENEY TODD is Tim Burton’s best film since ED WOOD – which I consider to be his very best film to date. That said, upon multiple viewings it is possible this film will become my favorite Burton film.
It is that perfect subject matter for him… a hybrid of Disney and Bava and Corman. In structure it is a sweeping love story between a young innocent man and a caged would be Repunzel… but then there’s that rare character that you never see in a Disney fantasy musical. A bitter psychopathic father figure that is out to revenge the horror of his own life. I would call this Tim Burton’s Grimmest Fairy Tale.
Now – let’s talk about how this is one of the most lush and beautifully captured films I’ve seen. Victorian England has never looked better...
