Description

It was surely only a matter of time until Tim Burton turned his dark attentions to the 19th century tale of Sweeney Todd, the cutthroat barber whose tales of murder and most grisly commerce on the streets of London became the stuff of an award winning 1979 musical. Here, a cast including longtime Burton collaborators Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter--plus Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall and Sasha Baron-Cohen--breathe new life into Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's musical tale with a special gothic relish for the simmering horror within. Depp's accomplished, haunted "No Place Like London" setsmore… the scene for what's to come, the nation's capital introduced as a moral abyss ("There's a hole in the world like a great black pit/And the vermin of the world inhabit it"), while Bonham-Carter brings Cockney energy and a squirt of sauce to the "The Worst Pies in London". A neat comic turn, meanwhile, comes courtesy of Baron-Cohen, who plays the role of Italian barber Adolfo Pierelli--inventor of a fraudulent anti-balding lotion--with humorous gusto ("The Contest"). --Louis Pattison
