Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Roald Dahl’s famous book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been adapted for the screen for a second time, and Tim Burton’s delightful version of the industrial fairy tail provides an opportunity for Johnny Depp to do a creepy impersonation of the misanthropic entrepreneur, Willie Wonka. Any resemblence to persons alive or dead is purely coincidental (Did somebody mention Michael Jackson?) Burton-Depp collaborations have consistently produced excellent chemistry, and do so again, making the most of Dahl’s extravagantly weird and wonderful world.
