Release Year: 2003

From the imagination of director Tim Burton comes an adventure as big as life itself. As frustrated journalist Ed Bloom (Billy Crudup) deals with his ailing father’s final days, he attempts to separate the facts from the fabrications in the fantastical stories of the man’s entire life. From his global adventures as a young man (played with ineffable charm by Ewan McGregor), through a multitude of exploits into his later years (played with quiet dignity by Albert Finney), we meet a colorful cast of characters whose relationship to reality is less than certain. Starring whimsical performances by Jessica Lange, Helena Bonham Carter, Steve Buscemi, and Danny DeVito, to name a few.
