Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice<\/em>, a cult film that still influences pop culture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A surprise box office success, Tim Burton’s fantasy comedy Beetlejuice<\/a><\/strong> <\/em>(1988) seduced audiences and critics alike. The very demanding Cahiers du cin\u00e9ma<\/em> praised a “typically American black humour that bases the gags on a very original way of making the fantastic ordinary and the everyday monstrous<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its mythical sequences, like the family dinner, its heady soundtrack, its cardboard special effects and its macabre jokes, the film has marked several generations. It has now established itself as a jewel in the crown of the Gothic aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The feature has contributed to the popularity of Tim Burton<\/a><\/strong>. But also of its actors, such as Michael Keaton<\/strong> who starred in the Batman <\/em>directed by Tim Burton a year later after playing the crazy, lecherous Beetlejuice, and Winona Ry<\/a><\/strong>der<\/strong><\/a>, the director’s muse and grunge icon of the 1990s. In the role of Lydia Deetz, the tormented, marginal protagonist in Beetlejuice<\/em>, the actress seemed to represent a double of the filmmaker, his spiritual little sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Tim Burton<\/strong>‘s film was released, many people were inspired by his aesthetic at the time. Today, there are still some people dressing up as Lydia Deetz<\/strong> or as the bio-exorcist – the frightening, yet comical character Beetlejuice, <\/em><\/strong>whose name should not be pronounced too many times. Two endearing characters who have had their own cartoon…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Model Bella Hadid<\/strong><\/a>, alongside The Weeknd<\/strong> at a Halloween party in 2018, and singer Anitta<\/a><\/strong> have already dressed as Winona Ryder<\/strong> in the film… Many others cite Beetlejuice<\/em> as one of their favorite films. Before being the heroine of the sequel to Beetlejuice<\/em>, Jenna Ortega<\/a><\/strong> had already mentioned this film <\/em>among his favorite horror woks, alongside Prom Night<\/em> and The Witch<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queen of Method dressing<\/a><\/strong>, the actress now continues to wear outfits similar to those of Lydia Deetz to the premieres of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice<\/em><\/strong>, released in September 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “Burtencore”: a popular trend emphasized by the series Wednesday<\/em><\/strong><\/h2><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But the influence of Tim Burton’s<\/strong> dreamlike, romantic, dark<\/em> and kitsch cinema extends beyond the film Beetlejuice<\/strong><\/em>. The series Wednesday<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, partially directed by Tim Burton, has pushed many teenage girls (but not only) to dress in black dresses adorned with lace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the hashtag #Wednesday<\/a><\/em>, millions of videos on TikTok offer a glimpse at how to dress up like the cynical teenager. Dark colors, surreal details, Victorian inspiration, whimsical hats, voluminous hairstyles, raven makeup, stripes, baroque jewelry, the Burtencore<\/strong> mixes gothic aesthetics, humor and fantasy to create a wildly eccentric silhouette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
