This four-part, so-far-untitled documentary series about the rise and rise of Hollywood’s least likely marquee-name director starts out with a tribute from Christopher Walken that will be very hard for the next three instalments to match.
In that inimitable… sta-cc-a-to… WAY… of his, the Sleepy Hollow star recalls his former dance teacher saying to him: “Chris, show me something I never saw before.
And that’s what Tim does. Every time.” That, by any metric, is a high bar, and, for the first hour of this docuseries at least, the hyperbole is justified: Whether Tim Burton’s 39-year career in feature films — one imagines the imminent release of Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice must have scuppered the nice, round 40 — will keep viewers glued to the next three is another matter.
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.
