Ed Wood
2,488 votes
Movies were his passion. Women were his inspiration. Angora sweaters were his weakness.
The mostly true story of the legendary "worst director of all time", who, with the help of his strange friends, filmed countless B-movies without ever becoming famous or successful.
Director: Tim Burton
Cast: Johnny Depp, Martin Landau, Sarah Jessica Parker, Patricia Arquette, Jeffrey Jones
Cast: Johnny Depp, Martin Landau, Sarah Jessica Parker, Patricia Arquette, Jeffrey Jones

Ed Wood (1994), directed by Tim Burton, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including subtitles in English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish
IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109707/

Note : I realize we hadn't done any Tim Burton yet, and while his recent output has been, well, not so great, we'll do well to remember that he had a string of great films in the 80s and 90s. This is maybe one of the best, although the shine has worn off Johnny Depp doing high-intensity eccentric comedy performances (or off Depp in general, actually), he works pretty well here, as eternal bumbling optimist, passionate filmmaker, and incompetent transvestite Ed Wood (not short for Edward Woodward). Martin Landau, of course, plays Bela Lugosi in an Oscar-winning turn (although Lugosi's hatred for Karloff here is exaggerated, at worst, he may have envied Karloff's much more successful late career), and the rest of the cast, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Patricia Arquette, Jeffrey Jones, Bill Murray, Lisa Marie, Jim Myers, G. D. Spradlin, and a tiny apperance by Vincent D'Onofrio as Orson Welles himself, is pretty great. The jokes are funny, Ed Wood's pathos is surprisingly... pathetic, but the real star here is the visuals, shot on gorgeous black and white by regular Burton collaborator Stefan Czapsky, it's the noirest of noir looks, with unctuous blacks and silvery, flickering highlights, like a distilled fever dream of what 50s cinema actually looked like. This film is a must if you love filmmaking and the people who continue doing it against all odds.
Edward D. Wood is an aspiring writer/director who wants to break into Hollywood in 1952. He first tries to convince a producer to let him direct a film about Christine Jorgensen, the first widely known trans woman, but is unsuccessful. His luck somewhat changes when he by chance meets and befriends Bela Lugosi, one of his idols, who's had a severe career decline and is addicted to drugs. By promoting Lugosi as a star, Wood convinces a producer to let him direct one of his scripts, called "Glen or Glenda", about transvestitism, in which Wood himself stars, opposite his girlfriend Dolores, with Lugosi as a scientist. Wood's confession to Dolores that he's actually a transvestite in real life strains their relationship, and the film is a critical and commercial failure, leading to Wood breaking off his relationship with the producer and vowing to finance his next film independently. Over time, Wood accumulates a retinue of strange show-biz characters who become his friends and collaborators, including drag queen Bunny Breckinridge, largely unsuccessful psychic The Amazing Criswell, wrestler Tor Johnson, TV horror hostess Vampira, and Loretta King, a young actress who he thinks is wealthy and will finance his films. Together, they make a string of very bad movies, culminating in the legendary Plan 9 From Outer Space, and on the way, relationships change, and Wood finds love and acceptance for his true self.
This is a quite gorgeous transfer, with dense blacks, fine detail, and subtle, tight grain. The 5.1 track also sounds great, and the commentary track is pretty fun.
