- Genre: Drama, Musical & Performing Arts, Mystery & Suspense,

- Subtitled | Widescreen | Duration: 130 Mins
Overview:
After making dark Gothic fantasies like Sleepy Hollow and Corpse Bride, Tim Burton puts his unique stamp on Stephen Sondheim's award-winning Broadway musical. Johnny Depp stars as the barber of the title who takes (very, very) bloody revenge on the men who wronged his family, before serving up their remains in meat pies made by his partner in crime Mrs Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter). Few musicals have tackled such a dark theme or have boasted such a distinctive look, as Dickensian London is given an Addams Family-style twist. The Oscar-winning production design is astoundingly detailed and Burton turns the sets and costumes into a near-monochrome palette of blacks and greys - the perfect contrast to the arterial spray from Todd's cut-throat razor. Neither Depp nor Bonham Carter is a trained vocalist, but both tackle Sondheim's musical numbers with gusto, not to mention entertaining cockney accents. Easily one of Burton's most deftly realised films, this macabre musical is to die for.
