Overview"'I'm for anything that subverts what the studio thinks you have to do' -Tim Burton. ""After being immersed in the work of Tim Burton for a while things can get a little strange. You see movement in the shadows and when you turn to look there's nothing there. Life feels slightly unreal. There's a sense of the mysterious hanging in the air like the fog in ""Sleepy Hollow"". You see things in a different light. When watching the stylised movies which have made Tim Burton a household name, it is easy to see why they can have such an effect. They are often like fairytales, communicating to us on a symbolic level, speaking of things far deeper within our conscious and subconscious minds than most films would dare to delve. Issues of alienation, insanity, and a wish for acceptance are among those raised in often expressionist and gothic surroundings."" Edwin Page takes us on a journey through the films of Tim Burton, through which we gain insights into the mysterious, and somewhat reclusive film director responsible for them. Films discussed include ""Beetlejuice"", ""Sleepy Hollow"", ""Charlie & The Chocolate Factory"", ""Batman"" and ""The Corpse Bride""."
