ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Another camp classic fantasy from the mind of Jim Henson (THE DARK CRYSTAL, THE MUPPET MOVIE), LABYRINTH is a magical experience for all to behold. Full of plot twists and turns – much like the labyrinth itself – this film is a masterpiece. Starring rockstar and icon David Bowie (THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH, THE PRESTIGE) and actress Jennifer Connelly (A BEAUTIFUL MIND, REQUIEM FOR A DREAM). The New York Times calls this iconic film, “a remarkable achievement”.

SYNOPSIS

David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly invite you into a magical universe where nothing is what it seems! Babysitting infant stepbrother Toby on a weekend night isn’t young Sarah’s (Connelly) idea of fun. Frustrated by his crying, she secretly imagines the Goblins from her favorite book, LABYRINTH, carrying Toby away. When her fantasy comes true, a distraught Sarah must enter a maze of illusion to bring Toby back from a kingdom inhabited by mystical creatures and governed by the wicked Goblin King (Bowie).
