Return To Oz
1985, dir: Walter Murch
Synopsis: Dorothy, saved from a psychiatric experiment by a mysterious girl, is somehow called back to Oz when a vain witch and the Nome King destroy everything that makes the magical land beautiful.
Much is know for his editorial work in Apocalypse Now and The English Patients. This is his first directorial effort… I have to admit I have not seen this film. However from reading about it, the premise of the story appears to be aimed at older children and perhaps adults. I’d be interested in seeing the film, especially because of its cult following. And also to see how the work of L. Frank Baum was adapted into this sequel of the original story.
