Superb Film Adaptation of Sondheim's Musical From Tim Burton
|
| Much to my amazement, Tim Burton has crafted a well-realized adaptation of this classic Stephen Sondheim musical. He has paid ample attention to Sweeney Todd's dark, despicable turn-of-the-century (19th Century) London, and to its denizens, as though this was a film adaptation of the Brecht-Weill opera, "Threepenny Opera". This film adaptation is a worthy addition to all of the great Broadway musicals that have been translated successfully into film, most notably for the brilliantly acted - and well sung - performance of Sweeney Todd by Johnny Depp (I also recommend it for the lush, well-played orchestral score by an orchestra of British musicians.). Depp's intensely vivid portrayal is truly mesmerizing, and his superb acting is effectively demonstrated too in his untrained, but emotionally intense, singing. Other excellent singers include both the surprising Alan Rickman and Sacha Baron Cohen. Even Helena Bonham Carter - whose voice isn't nearly as strong as Depp's - is quite convincing as Mrs. Lovett. However, inspite of this, I believe that this excellent film adaptation of "Sweeney Todd" will be long remembered as the best one ever made from a Stephen Sondheim musical. |
