glam rock Jareth (played by David Bowie) and responsibility-averse Sarah (played by Jennifer Connelly), <em>Labyrinth<\/em> (1986) is a coming-of-age dark fantasy complete with Jim Henson puppets, MC Escher-inspired sets, and fever-dream <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/photography.tutsplus.com\/articles\/what-is-mise-en-scene--cms-108865\" target=\"_blank\">scenes<\/a>. The puppet creatures in the film represent Sarah\u2019s imaginative mind, connecting to the part of herself that does not want to grow up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From goblins to fairies to Ludo to eye lichen,&nbsp;Sarah must judge each character based on who they are instead of what they look like. MC Escher\u2019s illustrations merge well with Labyrinth and the dark fantasy genre, playing into the confusing mazes within the film that reflect decision-making in reality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DB9-uDtSMHu\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
