Event Description:

Breaking out of his 21 Jump Street TV persona, Johnny Depp inhabits
the sweet, sensitive manufactured man of the title — upsetting the
homogenized, automated equilibrium of a Fifties-esque, candy-colored
suburbia. Discovered hiding in the local dark castle by the Avon lady,
Edward was an unfinished invention of Vincent Price's loving
scientist; his creator died before he could add a finishing touch: the
hands. Edward's unusual industrial-Gothic appearance and dangerously
sharp appendages soon become the talk of the town, and his
sympathetic, adopted parents — played by the perfectly cast Dianne
Wiest and Alan Arkin — must manage the mob as their carnival-like
curiosity quickly turns to Frankensteinian fear and frenzy. Meanwhile,
Edward falls in love. Tim Burton's delightfully bizarre modern-day
fairy tale is a bittersweet holiday refuge for all the broken misfits
out there who feel vulnerable, isolated and misunderstood.
