À propos de ce film

Based on true events, this darkly comic musical tale tells the story of London barber Benjamin Barker (Depp--Finding Neverland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) unjustly sentenced to a prison term in Australia by a judge who covets Barker's wife. When Barker returns to England, he takes up his former profession, using the name Sweeney Todd--and slits the throats of customers who come into his shop. Now, while Sweeney confronts the problem of accumulating corpses, a local businesswoman finds a novel and enterprising use for the bodies . . . a bloody business that profits them both.

Notes et avis

A merry old movie with cutthroat villains, (literally if your Sweeney Todd) and happy go lucky numbers should you fancy a sing- along. Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance? Thought not.

Well cast. Not the best musical but the actors and esses really make the film. It's not mind blowing or anything but the description is wrong. Sweeny Todd was never real, it's not based on true events at all.

Worse musical I've ever watched. One of the worse pieces ever to be made by Tim Burton. I've seen other films about Sweeney Todd and they are better, more scary.
