About

Tim Burton defined a generation’s cultural imagination with his alternately spooky, sweet, and sincerely scary features, and has continued to endure over the years thanks to his boundless vision and ability to conjure a sense of wonder from the unlikeliest places.Our first foray into the genre filmmaker's oeuvre sees Film Editor Dominick Suzanne-Mayer joined by CoS Editor-in-Chief Michael Roffman and CPN contributor Samantha Kuykendall to discuss Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow, Dark Shadows, and Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children.We discuss Burton’s trademark look and style, the ways in which it’s shifted and changed with the times over more than three decades, the understated politics of some of the director’s best early work, the juxtapositions of color that have become an aesthetic all their own at this point, and much more.Chapters: Introduction (0:11), Burton Gothic: A Discussion (2:30), Edward Scissorhands (10:23), Sleepy Hollow (26:35), Dark Shadows (39:09), Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children (51:54), Intermission (1:02:04), Sight [Cinematography/Editing] (1:02:07), The Lasting Image (1:20:34), Music & Score (1:24:36), Script (1:33:22), Closing Remarks (1:42:44) For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
