Note:
The film starts at sundown, but DJs from Brooklyn Radio spin from 6pm. Head over to Flavorwire for news on Tim Burton's latest.
In this preferred fairy tale, Tim Burton — the oddball next door during his Burbank childhood — pictures the suburbs as a Land of Blah, full of clean, pastel-colored residences and a day-to-day routine that includes a door-to-door Avon rep. Then, Johnny Depp descends from his Gothic citadel to become one of cinema's most popular, simpatico, and photogenic characters — even if his story ends unhappily ever after. The parochial locals initially flock to his honed touch with topiary and Sassoon-style coiffures, but, due to a series of petty exploitations, soon see him as a threat and pariah. Throughout, Depp's deadpan pantomime is both hilarious and heartbreaking, with his darling Winona Ryder just outside his gentle reach.
