Review of Ed Wood (1994) by Nolan M — 06 Apr 2015
Wonderfully facetious and equally fascinating, Tim Burton's "worst filmmaker of all time" biopic is part fan film, part edgy comedy. And it works.
Martin Landau's Bela Lugosi is a spot-on caricature and Johnny Depp is hilariously creepy, capturing the very essence of Ed Wood's "every cloud" optimism and zany imagination.
Much like its main character, Burton's film is alive with over-enthusiasm. It makes for both a celebration of exploitation film and a touching tribute to a cult hero. Magical stuff.
