Our take

A justifiably cult classic with the singular David Bowie, Labyrinth is a fantastical, endlessly imaginative rendition of a children’s film by the puppeteering maestro (and film director!) Jim Henson. The screenplay was written by Monty Python’s Terry Jones, and did we mention it’s also a musical?
