Ed Wood (1924-1978) is generally regarded as the single worst film maker to emerge from Hollywood. This is not really moral, for there were and are aplenty worse. But one thing has always situation Wood above the pack, and that was his absorb unshakable faith in his talent. Unfortunately, the faith was misplaced and the talent was nonexistent–and although this Tim Burton film takes a slew of liberties with the facts of Wood’s life and career, it does a great job of capturing them as Wood likely saw them through the filter of his contain nasty ego.
The film has two broad assets: the performers and its visual style. Johnny Depp leads the cast in the title role, and it is a virtuoso performance, for he entices us to like a man whose self-blindness would normally lead an audience to reject him out of hand; the performance is incredibly witty, wildly over the top, and yet it contains fair enough pathos to allow us to recount to Wood on a human level. But the valid stunner in the cast is Martin Landau, who picked up a Best Supporting Academy Award for his performance as Bela Lugosi, a legendary actor who was very grand a forgotten star (not to mention morphine addict) by the time Wood befriended him in the early 1950s.
As with Wood himself, the film plays expeditiously and loose with the facts of Lugosi’s life, but it nonetheless captures something very important about both Lugosi and the Hollywood that destroyed him, something very elemental that transcends the irregular comedy of the fragment. And Landau gives the performance of his career; you truly hold that this is Lugosi before you, a peculiar but curious mixture of faltering humanity and arrogance desperate for an audience now lost to him. Other memorable performances include Bill Murray as the inept and very la-dee-dah actor Bunny Breckinridge; Jeffrey Jones as The Improbable Criswell, favorite “psychic” and occasional Wood actor; Lisa Marie as television’s “Vampira;” and Sarah Jessica Parker as Wood’s speedily wife and occasional actress Dolores Fuller. Indeed, there isn’t a unfounded price in the entire cast apt down to the bit players and extras.

In terms of visual style, Tim Burton nails the very gaze of an Ed Wood film in glittering shadowy and white–but working with a budget that Wood never dreamed of he merges it with a series of classic Hollywood idioms that buy the style out of Wood’s unfortunately flat style and into the realm of high art. In both search for and direction, I strongly feel that this is Burton’s single finest film to date.
If the film has a flaw, it is that at times it recreates the flatness of an Ed Wood film a bit too precisely over too long a period–and the result can feel slightly dragged. And it is also a film that will register most clearly with those who have actually seen the films on which the movie focuses, so it may not appeal to the uninitiated. But for those who have the good look, it is a considerable film–and a film that desperately needs the DVD release that has been so repeatedly postponed. Wickedly amusing, unexpectedly touching, extremely memorable… and strongly recommended.

Why perform a movie about the man universally regarded as the worst filmmaker of all time?

Well, simply because the word “worst” does not even adequately narrate Ed Wood. He was the absolute, undisputable worst, unrivalled in his mindless disregard for decent production values, coherent storytelling, credible scriptwriting, and competent acting. If he were honest “the worst,” he would be no more than a mere footnote in cinematic history. But by single-handedly redefining the standards of ineptitude, Wood achieved that rare station of lovable loser. I mean, really, you have to like someone who approaches his craft with so remarkable grit and determination and so runt talent.
It takes an A-grade cast to bring to life this legend of Z-grade moviemaking. And we have one. Johnny Depp delivers a performance of fire in the title role, giving us a lot of insight into the character that Ed Wood was. Martin Landau (in an Oscar-winning performance) doesn’t honest describe Bela Lugosi. By golly, he becomes Lugosi, almost convincing us that the anxiety movie memoir was resurrected for this project. Sarah Jessica Parker, Jeffrey Jones, Bill Murray, George “The Animal” Steele, and Lisa Marie comprise the ensemble cast that portrays a motley crew of spoiled amateurs. Mediate about it, these people had to re-enact the shooting of Wood’s movies, looking serious but coming out comical, and doing all that with a straight face.Try that, folks.
Appreciate too, the film’s most memorable line. At the premiere night of Understanding 9 From Outer Site, Wood declares with unqualified conviction: “This is it. This is the one I’ll be remembered for.”
Whether you’re a fan of dreadful movies or not, you simply have to look Ed Wood. It’s not often that a film comes along that makes you like a man who so admirably succeeded at being a failure.
