Burton on Burton : Revised Edition

Summary: "Burton on Burton"
Review: This chop shop of magazine interviews gives the reader a good sense of Burton's motivations and inspirations. The writer, or rather the interview-assembler, makes a solid effort in creating something linear and readable by interspersing Tim Burton's extemporaneous word with brief clarifications. The overall effect is clear, but there is quite a bit of redundant and sometimes trivial prose in the question-and-answer format. Thankfully, a bevy of the titular director's preproduction sketches gives the reader a rare glimpse into the lucid imagination of this self proclaimed "incommunicative" artist.
