Movie Event Palma: ‘Edward Scissorhands’ by Tim Burton
CineCiutat
Description
CineCiutat brings Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands back to the big screen on Friday, 2 October at 19:00, with the 1990 fantasy classic screening in its original version with Spanish subtitles. This Movie Event Palma revisits one of Burton’s most distinctive films, starring Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder in a strange, romantic and unmistakably gothic suburban fairy tale.
Edward Scissorhands follows Edward, an artificial young man created by an eccentric inventor who dies before completing him, leaving him with blades instead of hands. After years of isolation, Edward is taken into a colourful suburban community, where his unusual appearance initially makes him a source of fascination before curiosity gives way to suspicion.
The film marked the beginning of one of modern cinema’s best-known director-actor collaborations between Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. Depp stars as Edward alongside Winona Ryder as Kim, with Dianne Wiest, Anthony Michael Hall and Vincent Price also appearing in the film. Burton combines fantasy, romance and dark humour with the highly stylised visual world that became central to his filmmaking.
More than three decades after its original release, Edward Scissorhands remains closely associated with Burton’s cinema and has developed lasting cult status. CineCiutat itself classifies the film as romantic drama, fantasy and cult cinema, making this Movie Event Palma a fitting addition to the cinema’s programme of classics and independent films.
For audiences following movies in Palma and Art Events Mallorca, the screening offers the chance to see the film away from home streaming and back in a cinema setting. The 110-minute film will be presented in VOSE — its original English-language version with Spanish subtitles — in CineCiutat’s Screen 1 in 4K.
This Movie Event Palma takes place on Friday evening at 19:00, adding a cult favourite to Palma’s early October cultural calendar. CineCiutat continues to mix current independent releases with special screenings and cinema classics at its community-run venue in S’Escorxador.
