Edited and with essays by Ron Magliozzi and Jenny He
With a visual style inspired by the aesthetics of animation and silent comedy. Tim Burton has reinvented Hollywood genre filmmaking over the past three decades. melding the exotic. the horrific. and the comic and manipulating expressionism and fantasy with the skill of a graphic novelist.
