Sleepy Hollow by Tim Burton


Well since it's the month of October and Halloween's around the corner, I re-watched the movie Sleepy Hollow by director Tim Burton the other day. One of the things that I really like about this movie is the combination of Mexico's Emmanuel Lubezki's cinematography and the atmospheric effects to achieve a very distinctive tone throughout the movie. I feel the cooler, unsaturated color palette, as well as Lubezki's use of light, shadows, and atmospheric effects really portray a feeling of suspense and eeriness which helps us as the audience connect with the story.


The direction, acting, art direction, sets, and music are excellent throughout in this story based on Washington Irving's American folklore tale, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," in one of my favorite works by director Tim Burton.
