Strange movie consisting of bizarre short stories of (e.g.) a witch, a giant, a bad poet/bank robber, a fish that's seen as a naked woman, a town full of 'Stepford Wives' people, conjoined twins, etc... all awkwardly intended to be the life story of the dying father. This 2003 film was undoubtedly influenced by Tim Burton's father's passing three years prior. I typically enjoy his eccentric film making very much, which is why I selected it. This one just didn't 'gel' for me. It felt like a departure too far off the deep end.
