In this video essay, I have a go at figuring out the 1986 Jim Henson classic 'Labyrinth'. How did it happen? Why was it made? Why is it so strange? What's the deal with David Bowie's outfit? What is this film really about, anyway?
What's your favorite part of 'Labyrinth'? Did I leave out something you love? Let me know in the comments below!
