From legendary director Tim Burton, Big Eyes tells the outrageous true story of one of the most epic frauds in history. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, super-salesman and painter Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz) had reached success beyond belief, revolutionising the commercialisation of popular art with his enigmatic paintings of waifs with big eyes. Art critics denounced and ridiculed the paintings but the public bought them by the truckloads. The bizarre and shocking truth would eventually be discovered though: Walter's works were actually not created by him at all, but by his shy and gifted wife Margaret (Amy Adams). Big Eyes centres on Margaret's awakening as an independent woman and artist, the phenomenal success of her paintings, and her tumultuous relationship with her unscrupulous husband, who was catapulted to international fame while taking credit for her work.
