‘Tim Burton Untitled Docuseries’ Review: An Insightful Portrayal Of Hollywood’s Gothic Disruptor – Tribeca Film Festival


‘Tim Burton Untitled Docuseries’ review: An insightful portrait of Hollywood’s gothic disruptor – Tribeca Film Festival

But while Tara Wood’s documentary is clearly in the director’s corner, it does, convincingly, chart the most unlikely of outsiders’ rise to the top without ever rewriting history to reframe it as a jolly David and Goliath story — in fact, it’s pretty much in your face about that. His acting appearances in his Super-8 shorts (a memorable one finds him being eaten alive by a beanbag) may now seem at odds with his camera-shy reputation, but his future as a director starts to make more sense with his growing confidence as an animator, notably with his 1979 student film Stalk of the Celery Monster. Title: ‘Tim Burton Untitled Docuseries’ (Episode One) Festival: Tribeca (NOW Special Screening) Director: Tara Wood Sales Agent: Fifth Season Running time: 1hr 5 min
