Mesmerizing and highly entertaining. Tim Burtons grand guignol fantasy transforms Stephen Sondheims 1979 musical-theater piece into a cheerfully gothic morality tale. Sweeney Todd dvd Trailer Johnny Depps dynamic performance in the title role is Oscar worthy, and arguably the greatest of his career. A thoughtful, sincere and moving film, buttressed by a fine, central performance by an actor at the top of his form. This is grand-scale studio-work at its most beguiling. The most accomplished almost-remake of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari since the passing of the silent era.
