Tim Burton: The Life and Films of a Visionary Director

Tim Burton’s uniquely beautiful, disturbing films continue to beguile audiences and critics alike, and Tim Burton is a timely examination of this singular film-maker’s incredible body of work. From the acclaimed 1982 short Vincent to 2000’s smash-hit Sleepy Hollow, Burton has created a dream world that simply cannot be matched. Animated projects Frankenweenie and The Nightmare Before Christmas, offbeat fantasies like Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands and big-budget extravaganzas Batman and Mars Attacks all explore Burton’s fascination with the darker side of human nature. Illustrated with over 400 photographs, and also looking at his work with composer Danny Elfman, Tim Burton explores the meaning behind the motion pictures.
