Tim Burton Retrospective

For the past 25 years, Tim Burton has been Hollywood's most idiosyncratic star director. His movies are modern fairy tales for adults, populated by oddballs, eccentrics and freaks of all sorts, depicting fantastic dream worlds that are at once melancholy and comical. With his faith in the compatibility of great entertainment cinema and a personal artistic vision, Burton has repeatedly proven that fairy tales don't have to be told using the patterns laid out by conventional Hollywood clichés.
