Imaginative love story

Rating: 8/10 (9 March 2020)

Searching for something to watch on Netflix, I accidentally found "Corpse Bride". I was hesitant at first, because my experience with other Tim Burton's movies (Charlie & the chocolate factory, Mars attacks!) was not as good as I expected. But "Corpse Bride" made me change my opinion about Burton's creations; the result is a unique fairy tale, a macabre, bittersweet combination of true love and death. The figures, the music and songs (especially Victor's piano solo), the contrast between the living people world (dull, depressing) and the deads' world (joyful, colorful and restless), all together compose a fascinating atmosphere.
