Labyrinth (40th Anniversary)
Jim Henson | GB/US 1986 | 101 min | OVMit: David Bowie, Jennifer Connelly, Toby Froud
Bowie in der Rolle des bösen Koboldkönigs in einem grandiosen 80er Jahre-Klassiker. Die skurrilen Fantasiefiguren werden von liebvoll gestalten Puppen verkörpert (Regisseur Jim Henson ist auch der Erfinder der Muppets!)
ENGLISH:
A teenager babysitting her little brother accidentally sends him to the land of the Goblin King, and she must get him back by midnight or he will be turned into a goblin.
Bowie’s most celebrated movie role saw him swap jumpsuits for jodhpurs and transmute his pop star androgyny into high-camp villainy as Jareth the Goblin King, the nefarious, child-snatching dandy sitting at the heart of Jim Henson’s Labyrinth. Back-combed and bewitching, Bowie’s Jareth is the magnetic ringleader of Henson’s fantastical menagerie, his performance cemented Labyrinth’s cult appeal.
