a unique treasure

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 1999)

Ed Wood is an unusual and unique film recounting the life of Ed Wood, the king of bad films. Johnny Depp conveys Ed's enthusiasm and film "techniques". It is relatively faithful to the story of Ed Wood (as surprising as some of the scenes may be, most of them are based on fact.) Martin Landau gives an incredible performance as Bela Lagosi. The film is entirely in black and white and pays homage to movies of that time. Don't miss this one if you are a fan of "grade Z" movies.
