Febbraio è stato un mese foriero di grandi film. Nel mese più corto dell'anno, anche se quest'anno era un pochino più lungo, sono state programmate important outputs, for once we have placed before the embarrassment of the choice to go to the cinema. And now? You know the answer too. Apart from some rare occasions, the rest is calm. Benjamin Barker, aka Sweeney Todd (Johnny Depp), it was rightly jailed for 15 years by the cruel Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman), in love with the wife of the barber. On his release, the victim becomes the persecutor and begins his revenge against the corrupt society of London with the help of Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter), who helps him get rid of the corpses of his victims, making meat pies.
Sweeney Todd, which I eagerly awaited as huge fan of Tim Burton, I left a bit 'confused. Mind you, film is well shot and performed, with the atmosphere very dark and disturbing photo and a well crafted, but there is something that I was not convinced. Perhaps the fault is excessive hype, but I expected to leave the cinema with a razor in his hand wanting to put under the knife through the hand and it did not happen. The darkness of the staging burtoniana still remains a great impact, and morality (or lack thereof) probably strikes deeper than at other times, so there's little to complain about, but maybe seeing him between Blood and No Country for Old Men has not helped, or perhaps saying "Never change a winning team" has taken root in this case a bit 'too much.
