A small shrimp gave me this book a few days ago as a Christmas gift (look for the error lol). Fan of Tim Burton and his universe, but a little skeptical about the usefulness of this book however I was immediately seduced by aesthetics of this book, is really very beautiful .
Then once I opened it back, and I've read a few lines before eating .. to finish at three o'clock in the morning amazed and frustrated that it stops just before Alice!
You will therefore not surprised to read that I really adored, I found this dive into the world of Burton and sometimes even in his head really exciting . Burton not only offers us an analysis of his films, but also his vision of cinema and all the hardships he had to cross to achieve each of its gems, all complemented by sketches made throughout his life , which allow us to realize that the character is not only authentic but he lives in this universe since childhood and has a real artistic gift.

In addition, we feel that Burton and Salisbury agree very well, questions remain very relevant and it was not the voyeuristic side of a biography, when details of the personal life of Burton are given is to explain some of his work and not just for the pleasure of narrating List its conquest or his favorite pokemon (I'm sure it Nosferapti!)
I also really liked the immersion in the world without pity Hollywwod majors and Disney (olalaaaa he attacks quite broadly in the Mickey ears LOL), all seen by an artist more significant than it seems (especially a vision of Sweeney Todd and his emoglobine lol) and that difference has always tried to keep itself outside the system, even to be crushed by it a few times (aaargh its place after the Berezina Superman, I would fire the damn studio LOL He has written a book (which will chronicle the way), I am afraid to be a little psychopath LOL).
Film Film is discovered by the perception of Burton's films, his mistakes, shooting galleries, achievements, choices .. It reveals an implicit a sensitive man, full of doubt, a little naive at times but always sincere and loyal to its investors, employees and spectators. It also discovers some of his injuries, making him a tortured man, introverted, but simple and sincere, which strangely I felt pretty close sometimes, and finally the genie artisitque haircut in less (thank you god!) .

This gave me a sudden urge to revisit all Burton's filmography, I started to also ^ ^ I
strongly recommend to all fans of Burton course, this book is not redundant but rather a complement everything that you could see him, just to see the scenes of his films but also more generally to all lovers of cinema history filmmakers to meet one of the most unusual in recent years but also discover the true bottom of Hollywood & the creation of a film. And for those who would still not convinced there not one but two prefaces by Johnny Depp, his alooors not dream it;)
9 / 10 portrait of a great filmmaker through his films, just to discover another vision of cinema, drawings funny, beautiful and sometimes a bit scary, with the backdrop of Hollywood's majors and Disney not so idyllic as its (carrement hell for someone like Burton, I could never Fox & Hound regarded as suffering for him lol).
Hound Do not be sad, I do not expect seeing your adventures anyway, now I prefer the guys sexy little foxes smarter than you want ...
