A Film That Rocked Your World

Writer's picture: Jenny WynterJenny Wynter

A little late admittedly, but just stumbled upon this little gem: being an interview (by the wonderful Margaret Pomeranz, no less) with my favourite, FAVOURITE (did I mention favourite?) filmmaker of all time, Tim Burton.

Incidentally, I just bought a very cool biography of him – as well as some merchandise from his recent exhibition at GOMA – in New York.

Though I love and adore quite a number of faboosh films, I have to say that none have ever really rocked my soul like Edward Scissorhands. I was depressed for weeks. I went back to see it four times at the movies (and this was back when I was twelve, when forking out for the cinemas was like taking out a mortgage). I collected everything I could get my hands on in any way Edward, Winona or Johnny (and strange combinations of the above) related.I ordered the soundtrack from England.

And I cried. Oh how I cried.

And…I decided that I wanted a career in entertainment.

In other words, it rocked me.

You?

I acknowledge the Gubbi Gubbi, Wakka Wakka and Butchulla peoples, the First Nation Traditional Owners of Country, and custodians of the land and waters on which I live and work, and all the peoples who have welcomed me on Country. I pay respects to all Elders past and present and acknowledge the young leaders who are working beside Elders in our cultural industries in the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices. I recognise all First Nation peoples as the original storytellers of these lands and acknowledge the important role they continue to play in our community.
