clo_againOkay now I'm confused. I looked at this and went "Huh. Anything to do with Labyrinth?" And then I read 'about the movie' and "...Huh. Are they SURE that this has nothing to do with Labyrinth?"
Reading more about it makes it sound much less derivative but I'm definitely intrigued. Between Lancaster's brand new 'normal' cinema and the artsy one I might actually get to see it, which is a whole new thought for me. I've got used to waiting until I get home to catch up movie-wise for the last two years.
I'm also suddenly wondering why I never so much as considered working Labyrinth into my dissertation. It could've been so easily done and now I'm left headdesking. I guess working in discussions of it along the cinema's contribution to the development of fantasy would work. Hm. At the least I can talk about how the conventions of written fantasy show up onscreen.
None of which is an excuse to spend a year watching David Bowie run around in tights. Nope.
