Vincent (1982)
10/10
Amazing
25 June 2006
A biographic short, Vincent is haunting, eery, and to those of us with even a hint of a macabre sense of humor, laugh-out-loud funny. Burton details what certainly comes strongly across like it were his own childhood, or his perception thereof, the story of a boy who dreams of being Vincent Price... made deliciously ironic by the use of Price as a narrator. The short is hard to say much about without spoiling it, but it is haunting, visually stunning, imaginative, and powerful beyond words. An instant classic, this should be viewed by anyone who considers themselves even remotely interested in Gothic style and/or Tim Burton. And a word of advice; do *not* read the memorable quotes before viewing this, as the page gives everything away. I luckily only glanced at it before watching. I recommend this strongly to fans of Tim Burton. 10/10
