No place like London.

I fall for "Sweeney Todd" again and again, every time I watch it over. I know the original idea doesn't belong to Tim, it's a famous English musical, but with Burton's twist it becomes special . Such a wonderful cast, songs, the gloomy image of London, costumes, decorations, everything works perfectly. And the plot as well that is deeper than it seems from the first sight.
And those characters! Fascinating how real they seem in spite of all the grotesque and theatricality of the story.

I applause.
