Some Welcome Light from Dark Shadows ....

Tim Burton's Dark Shadows - What a very good movie. Very enjoyable.  Fun plot. In fact fun throughout.  Beautifully acted.  The artistry of the whole was great, more than great. Jonathan Frid was very reminiscent of the white poe faced Johnny Depp, same as actually, but he managed to keep the whole strangely believable. Some scenes reminded me of Meryl in Death Becomes Her plus a touch of the Addams Family.

It was a version original at the Rialto on rue Rivoli - sadly for the French they miss out on many of the punch lines as the sous titres do not deliver.  French as a language is very constrained when it comes to expressing a lot of things in a fun and tacky manner!

Recommended. Go see. Escape.
