Tim Burton sure has his own handwriting. He is real auteur (in that meaning that Frenchmen gave to this word!). When you se a piece of his movie, you know it's his.
'Edward Scissorhands' (1990) I loved. 'Batman'(1989) I first hated (main reason is that I love Adam West's Batman so much...). 'Batman Returns'(1992) was fantastic and opened my mind for Burton's first 'Batman'. And so one.
Even 'Sweeney Todd' is a Tim Burton movie (of course it's Stephen Sondheim's work too, but who else could do it than Burton?). Though it's not one of the best Burton movies.
Anyway. 'Big Fish' is great. It's no barouque or dark. It's quite beautiful and one of the kind movie. Both Ewan McGregor and Albert Finney are great as Edward Bloom. The search for father is not a new idea but this film certainly is.
