Johnny Depp stars as the head-lopping Victorian barber bent on revenge. Sweeney Todd and his accomplice Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter) terrorize the citizens of a dark and murky London, and proceed to turn their victims into savory meat pies. Director Tim Burton has adapted Stephen Sondheim's musical masterpiece into a cinematic one in the sinisterly fantastic way only Burton can. "Sweeney is as much a horror film as a musical: It is cruel in its effects and radical in its misanthropy, expressing a breathtakingly, rigorously pessimistic view of human nature. It is also something close to a masterpiece, a work of extreme—I am tempted to say evil—genius." (NY Times) more at sweeneytoddmovie.com 35mm
