Labyrinth

Where everything seems possible and nothing is what it seems.

“In 9 hours and 23 minutes… You’ll be mine.”

The late, great David Bowie makes all kinds of music, magic and mischief as a Goblin King who kidnaps a baby while tormenting a young Jennifer Connelly in director Jim Henson‘s wildly imaginative and highly entertaining puppet-filled 80s classic LABYRINTH. We’re tipping our hat to the beloved icon with a #MusicMonday screening (on his birthday!) on January 8.

Fifteen-year-old Sarah (Connelly) resents her baby brother Toby and secretly wishes that he will just disappear. Whilst babysitting Toby, Sarah’s wish comes true when goblins kidnap the baby. Feeling responsible and guilty about his abduction, she sets forth to retrieve him – and finds herself on the adventure of a lifetime. To rescue her brother, she must sneak into the castle of the Goblin King (Bowie), which is in the center of a fantastical labyrinth. The task is easier said than done, as the maze is filled with strange creatures, mind-bending puzzles, and nothing is really as it seems...

“A remarkable achievement.” (The New York Times)

One of the undeniable triumphs of pure fantasy in live-action cinema.” (Antagony & Ecstasy)
