Sweeney Todd

[sylvar]

My primary aesthetic reactions are chronicled here (in good_eats).

Other things I noticed:

• This film is set in London, right? So why is there a period in the sign above Mrs Lovett's shop? Mrs doesn't take a period in British English. Did that happen only recently?
  
• The bench outside the Judge's house looked suspiciously modern. There's nothing about the casting of the iron sides that would have been impossible, but the stacked-bubbles look of the ironwork feels a bit wrong for some reason. It feels like the engineering of it is too modern, I guess.
  
• The movie didn't really feel like a Tim Burton job until I saw Mr Todd holding the gears of the chair.
  

Still, an entertaining and musically sophisticated flick.
