| |
| Stephen Sondheim's Grand-Guignol blend of opera and musical theater is a |
| perfect match for director Tim Burton's gothic sensibility. The result |
| of their encounter is a superb screen musical that, despite early fears |
| from the show's fans, preserves most of the score ("The Ballad of |
| Sweeney Todd" being the most egregious loss) and, perhaps even more |
| importantly, its spirit (regular Sondheim orchestrator Jonathan Tunick |
| did the new arrangements). And yes, Johnny Depp can sing. Granted, |
| singing in a movie is easier than it is onstage, but still, Depp is at |
| ease with the material, if a little thin-voiced. Helena Bonham Carter is |
| a bit more problematic as Mrs. Lovett (there's a reason this character |
| has been played by the likes of Angela Lansbury and Patti LuPone on |
| stage) and her take on "The Worst Pies in London" tries hard but lacks |
| gleeful gusto (she fares better on "By the Sea"). More convincing are |
| Sacha Baron Cohen, appropriately outlandish as Pirelli ("The Contest"), |
| Jayne Wisener as Johanna ("Green Finch and Linnet Bird"), and Alan |
| Rickman as Judge Turpin (a good duet with Depp on "Pretty Women"). |
| Sondheim fans won't be disappointed, and the film should also bring new |
| converts into his world. --Elisabeth Vincentelli |
