"With his use of light and shadows he complements the art-direction (which won an Academy Award) perfectly, and because it seems he is always using a filter the colors begin to play an integral part of the film. Along with the fitting costume design (also Oscar-nominated) the atmosphere created has an artistic quality all of its own, making the set appear in an artificiality which is reminiscent of the mood in Hammers horror productions from the 60s and 70s."

Very well stated, A. Technically speaking, Sleepy Hollow is masterful; I absolutely love the work done here by Lubezki, aided quite well by production-designers and art-directors. (Though, ultimately, the credit obviously goes to Burton's radically distinctive imagination.)
