Tim Burton exhibition in Paris

Tim Burton exhibition

The exhibition dedicated by the Cinémathèque française to the director Tim Burton deserves a visit to know the different faces hidden of this eclectic director. We first of all discover that Tim Burton is born as a designer and then he puts the images of his prolific mind to the service of cinema. On the other hand, the American director is not an "improvisé" of the art, on the contrary he is an ancient student of the Institute of Art of California, someone who has known well reinvent the codes of the sketch and the animation after having perfectly handled the tools of it. For this reason, the exhibition results really complete: it traces the history of this director from his childhood in the city of Burbank up to his last film Dark Shadows. There is a large retrospective dedicated to his sketches, to his characters in models, to his inventions, to his short films, following his first footsteps in the cinema industry to the service of Disney company. A small comment on the price: 11 euro, even for Tim Burton, don't you think is a little bit too much?
