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 featuring a look at his work with composer Danny Elfman, Tim Burton explores the meaning behind the motion pictures.
