Review of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) by Roberti. — 03 Jul 2007
Semi-sweet, with over-the-top imaginative scenes worthy of the Wizard, yet with bitter overtones of a jaded era. Who is Depp portraying here? He paints a misanthropic, mincing portrait of ambiguous origin.
As social satire, and as dreamscape, we let go and sluice down the chocolate raceways, on edge and ready to bolt if need be.
