An animated film based on a 19th-century Russian folk tale and described as “low budget” by its director Tim Burton is the runaway success of the 62nd Venice film festival so far. – Posted by Sawf News Connect on September 07, 2005.
VENICE, Italy (AFP) – Burton’s inventive, funny and touching movie featuring the voices of Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter earned loud and lengthy applause at the festival, where it is being shown out of competition.
“Corpse Bride” recounts a folk tale in which timid Victor, voiced by Depp, is whisked away to the underworld to marry the mysterious Corpse Bride (Bonham Carter), while his real bride Victoria (Emily Watson) waits in the Land of the Living.
