Keaton - Oscar?

Rating: 8/10 (9 June 2009)

His performance is one of the greatest, yet under rated, ever to grace the screen -
a Scene stealing, manically energetic, wonderfully over the top performance - a startling mix of German Expressionism and a bloated pervert at a porn expo.
The great thing about Keaton here is that though playing the villain, he is characteristically slimy, however, incredibly lovable. Keaton creates a character that is incredibly mad, and attractive because of this.
His performance is the truest epitome of what Tim Burton has been trying to capture on screen ever since. This Burton's best film and Keaton's most awe inspiring performance.
Even though it was made in the late 80's, the performance still manages to thrill.
