Labyrinth Ballroom Scene - full song

This is an extended version of the Labyrinth ballroom scene. It contains the studio music track mixed into the original movie audio.
My focus was mainly on the video content.
In order to enhance the fantasy theme of the ballroom sequence, I smoothed out the skin tones and increased the blue shades to provide a much cooler, more dream-like quality to the scene. I also sharpened the highlights (most notably in Bowie's hair and costume) because the film seemed a little flat. (Perhaps the Blu-ray version has better color tones to work with.)
I arranged the lead-in sequence to begin with Sarah after she has taken a bite, and then standing as if looking in the direction of Jareth's castle. I also flopped the direction of the floating bubbles so that the movement of the scene would match the direction of the bubble Sarah was trapped in as she drifted away.
The studio track plays beyond the "shattered bubble" scene, allowing the video to play to a better conclusion rather than the typical abrupt ending. I enjoy the song and the scene and hoped to make a better overall video experience for Labyrinth Lovers.

Can anyone tell me who/what the man in the strange bone colored mask is supposed to be or represent? He appears repetitively throughout the ball scene, and for thirty years, I've wondered who he was. I named my daughter "Sarah" after this movie - had the entire thing memorized after the second time I watched it and can recite it even now, all these years later, including sound effects. I cried when Bowie died (and still do sometimes), I have the board games, the figures, the jewelry, and so on and so on. But this remains a mystery to me. I have yet to meet someone who can tell me who that man in the bone colored mask is. He first makes an appearance at second 28 here and looks at the camera, then again at 1:47 for just a flash of an instant. Then at 2:02, where he's peering into a hand held mirror with his dance partner and is wearing a different hat. At 2:40, he's spinning with the original hat and a new dance partner and looks directly at the camera. At 2:48, he is in the background, a "stationary" follower of the camera, walking behind the others to remain in the center of the screen as the rest of the world spins. At 2:56, he's right there in her face and frightening. As she breaks away from Jareth and pushes through the crowd at 3:11, you see him again, right there beside her and watching her. If you slow it down and stop it at 3:16, he's dead center, a non-blurry mask amidst a bunch of blurry ones. Who is this man/goblin/masked creature? He's clearly more important than the others. On another note - did anyone else notice the small floating/flying person to Sarah's left (our right) at 3:33 when she's finally falling after having shattered the crystal ball? Also… how many times do you see Jareth's face in the architecture throughout the movie? I seem to notice him in a new location every single time I watch it - and I've seen it so, so many times.

I believe it represents his father (mother dancing with him sometimes in the orange puffy hair) in the coronation comics they talks about his background story and at the end they mention how his parents were present during the ballroom scene.

As for the faces that appears in different scenes, it's sort of like hidden Mickey. There are 7 in total.

To those concerned about the age difference...keep something in mind here. Her character was meant to be 16 in the movie and His was an immortal fae king.

What I'm wondering is how have they done her hair.

[@jjohnsengraciesmom]

DaemonicWolf if it's blow-dried and curled, wither with rollers or curling iron, tight curls, backcombed, where the back of her hair is brushed to the top of her head, ratted a bit, hairspray, then arrange the rest and add one can of hairspray. I'm not describing it well, it's an hour process at least, sometimes two hours. Add another hour at least if hair is to be colored, another hour if makeup is done, then help getting into the dress, it's puffy with a lot of layers. Then add ribbons to hair.

[@michealjacksonfan6435]

Every time I watch this scene I am struck by this thought: jareth had already given her the peach. She had eaten it and so , forgotten everything about her goal i.e Toby. Jareth did not have to send her the bubble. She had already forgotten and could have been left to forever wander through the labyrinth. But he didn't do that. He tried to convince her to stay with him by showing her this dream ball. Which leads me to think that it wasn't just about her forgetting about Toby. He wanted her to choose to stay beside him. Obviously it's wrong and represents a toxis relationship but man that's pretty romantic in it's own twisted way :')

[@MsPimpCandy]

The expression he makes at 3:12. Gosh, it hurts me so much because it's almost as if he's watching his dream run away from him and reject him for something/someone she loves more (which I guess is basically the case here). He probably feels a wound in his pride and heart that even despite his status as a goblin king and despite all the effort he's expended on her, her brother is the only person she can see and the only reason she's fighting to make her way through the labyrinth. Heck, she was presented with all of her dreams and yet she forsook all of that to save her little brother. I don't know, but in that scene, I saw in his eyes desire, longing, loneliness, and anguish from being torn away from the only person he desired deeply. She chased down her dream and as a result, he wasn't able to chase down his. Also the way he gazes into her eyes (2:10 - 2:18) as he takes her to dance is just so mesmerizing. His eyes showed pure adoration. Not only that, but you can tell how strongly he was trying to entrance her in that moment in time. His gaze was direct and piercing, as if he believed that was the only connection holding them together. His gaze never left her even as she was becoming increasingly distracted by the reappearing masked person and the clock, and becoming standoffish towards him. I'm pretty sure in that moment, he felt it was just them two dancing in that dream. This movie is just all around amazing and the chemistry between Sarah and Jareth is just... GAH. Unrequited love, huh.

[@BunnyNevermore]

i always thought the masked man was Jareth in another costume cuz he & the man interchanged & seemed to follow her around the room.

[@i.f.5566]

Yes! I absolutely love the way you put it! It's so beautiful and sad at the same time. But I can't deny that watching it again, knowing that she was 14 makes it less sad and more creepy ^^' Kind of glad she ran away now hehe

[@Liamneedham29]

Throughout this entire movie, Bowies acting is practically all Eyes. He maintains this upright posture and glides through every action. His face is almost unchanging. Its just his eyes. All the emotion is there. In the Escher Stairs scene, he says the words "I move the stars for noone", and that look in his eyes is chilling. I am only just now as an adult, learning to appreciate these things, always ignoring this film through my childhood. Yet Bowie is truly a class of his own and that raw talent is certainly not wasted here.

[@roxythestarfox143]

That one masked guy looks like SCP-049

[@makennaadamson4423]

You’re so right! I find that scene interesting, because if I was in Sarah’s shoes,... and David Bowie looked deep into my souls I would be screaming! And I’d be so nervous that I’m sure he’d win me over because that’s how much I love David Bowie. Or the part when he’s watching her from a distance making sure she’s ok, ya know? It’s like he cares so much for her, and I’m sure he’s in love! However I don’t understand how she didn’t feel anything for him throughout the whole movie! Or maybe she did and she didn’t want to confess? I still think she should’ve said yes to the goblin king. And I wish this ball room scene could’ve lasted for another minute or so... I just feel like they could’ve at least talked or something haha 😂

I respectfully disagree, Labyrinth totally lacks the qualities (not least of all musically) to stand beside those two titles you mention.. And the entire look and tone of it seems coldly calculated and lacking true spirit. No disrespect to Bowie, but he was a poor choice for the part, too well-known, takes me right out of the movie. Tim Curry, who did such a splendid job in the otherwise disjointed Legend, would've been a much better choice..

[@alanandconnielast]

@ulfing - Well that's not true at all - The Titles are miles apart, but this is no less a classic. In many cases, a better a firm in terms of Music. Due to the Music Legend himself making this title what it is, it is what it is because of him. An epic classic for most people. Time is nothing next to Bowie and most know it.

Agreed

[@hippyprincess5716]

@Ryan Pearre thank u

[@rachel5806]

That smile at 1:30

[@taylordowning2533]

That smile is everything

[@jerrambbe]

Is no one going to comment on how good the song is lol

[@cinnamonflan1412]

This scene was so interesting. I thought he was just the bad guy trying to waste her time but the song and his gaze is so genuine. It’s like he wanted her but what about the baby? I felt proud of her for putting aside her own feelings to save her baby brother. I feel like I would have stayed dancing with Bowie all night 😂😂😂 He looks so handsome and is a good dancer!

[@lox1923]

Absolutely heartbroken :( RIP David Bowie xx

[@vanderleiaalves980]

Amo ele e a música

[@TheHighlanderGirl]

I want Jareth for myself -- OMG but the looks he gives her and his smirks are so intensely sexy . . . swoon worthy!

[@pinky12351]

I’ve never even seen this movie but I’m obsessed with this clip, Jennifer looks so beautiful and the song is addicting plus David Bowie is just the cherry on top 🍒

[@flowerbudd2728]

This is the most sexy thing I have ever seen. I am of the original generation, about 1-2 years older or younger than Jennifer Connelly. I think Bowie was the ultimate Seducer. I wish he could have played Dracula in a film.

[@tokiohotellora12]

Love this part! But did anybody else wonder what those two dancers were saying to Jarrett before he started dancing with Sarah ?

[@califmorales]

If you're referring to 1:35, then I've always been curious about that. The second one actually causes Bowie to raise his eyebrows.

[@HavingAGreenDay]

califmorales Whatever she's saying at 1:35, it starts with Sh. It looks like "She loves you," but the lady disappears behind Jareth while she's still talking.

[@MusicCollaborator]

+tokiohotellora12 They said "Why did you kill Ziggy"?

[@Didilicia]

+tokiohotellora12 yes! agree with people/ she said: she loves you. BUT WHAT THE FIRST WOMAN SAID?

[@princessroxas1]

+Indianna Jones omg lol

[@Nancy22102]

I enjoyed watching Labyrinth reminds when i was a kid watchng this movie all over again..Thank you David Bowie you will be missed.... RIP!!!!

[@Le_meilleur_chevalier]

YOOOO I THOUGHT THIS WAS A FEVER DREAM I HAD AND REMEMBERED THIS SCENE ESPECIALLY AS A DREAM UNTIL SOMEONE MADE A VIDEO ABOUT IT AND THAT’S WHY I’M HERE! I have to watch this again!!

[@farwa714]

Rest in Peace, Goblin King.

[@gracepreston5779]

This movie is literally the best movie ever and idk why but this part is so amazing and idk why but I get emotional am I the only one? Anyway this is the best movie and tbh I had a small crush on David Bowie after this

[@carlottarobbins7005]

You aren't the only one. As much as much as this scene makes me swoon and I absolutely love it, a tiny part of me also feels really sad when I watch it - just knowing that he's dead and that I don't have anyone to dance to this song with. However, I want this as my first dance at my wedding, so I'm sure this feeling will someday go away.

[@KelleyBroussardMackaig]

I remember wanting to be her SOOOOO bad during that scene!!!

[@carlottarobbins7005]

I STILL do!!!

[@LadyLLLL]

The most beautiful/romantic song ever written ❤️

[@alexismcguire3430]

Here's how it works. I think I finally figured it out. Jared is under the control of the labyrinth the labyrinth is the only thing keeping him from being an owl. It keeps him in power as long as he provides it with its population of goblins. Jerris admires her strength and willingness to beat him and finds her attractive otherwise why would he have created such a romantic scene to distract her? He wants her to beat him so he can be free but he doesn't because he doesn't want to be transformed. So he's evil but he has little bit of a heart. That's just my theory.

[@ilovestormydayz]

If you notice in the beginning of the movie, when she is trying to learn the lines to the play, there is a music box that has a princess in a white gown. The princess is her. The reason Jareth make that fantasy was to stop her. He knew that it was her dream to be a princess and all that jazz. So he used it to his own gain. Plus, when Sarah wished away Toby, she set the play up as she told Toby the story. Sarah made it so the goblin king was in love with her. Considering the fact that everything that happened to Sarah was a dream that she was forced into. That's why everything worked out in her favor, When things whent wrong, that was caused by her brain, trying to make her dream a nightmare.

[@Baylorchick20]

Did you read Return of Labyrinth? It's kinda like a manga. He really does have feelings for Sarah but doesn't know how to express himself. I mean when I was like 9 when I watched this being a 90's kid on reruns I was OMG wishing you Sarah

[@user-hi3bn8pe5l]

He is trapped himself and finally met his match and doesn't know how to handle it. I wonder if he was a boy in a dream and became their king?

[@LE_AZ]

The magic of this scene is by far my favorite. The dancing, costumes,ballroom set. I love it so much.

[@ehidunno9737]

Hairdresser: So how much hair floof do you want? Her: yes

[@briannacisneros531]

AH AH AH his little smile ay 1:25 as he watches sarah i cant *dies*

[@darcylyons5463]

I have this movie when he passed I played this movie and I just cried because The Goblin King was the first time I was introduced to Bowie and from then on I've been assessed with his music. His voice is just beautiful to me he could sing me nursery rhyme and I would love it!

[@nickclark18]

kiss me :( in memory of the goblin king :(

[@GlitteryTrashcan]

Darcy Lyons I feel you my hart hurts when I listen to him sing, but it also calms me when I'm mad, sad, or stressed. R.I.P David bowie

[@LadyLLLL]

Yeeees.... I did that too....

[@GlitteryTrashcan]

love his blue highlights in this their really bright

[@She-RaPOP]

Jareth is responsible for my sexual awakening at age 5. He still makes my heart skip a beat.

[@gabrielfarley7786]

She is so beautiful! And this is one of the best scenes in the movie.

[@m0rphe0-8]

full magic

[@ireneml2005]

One of my favorites of David's songs!! I love it! So soothing and mesmerizing!! Dear David you´ve gone to the light!! You are and always be a true light being!! Thanks for your beautiful music. And yes, when I saw this movie at 16, I got a crush on him as a lot more girls! RIP dear spaceboy!

[@ellaevans7822]

Crazy how this scene has stayed in my head my entire life

[@217xe8]

Oh so romantic 😍

[@Vixen743]

definitely, an when she ate that peach the world started to spin, an then she entered the ballroom an was entranced by jareth they were suppose to kiss, but it wouldn't have been legal since she was a teen,( BUT HECK WHY NOT PRACTICE

[@abigailzapata8511]

She got to dance with him

[@TheChrissmith92]

Even though when she was roughly 15; Kirsten Dunst had her first on screen kiss with Brad Pitt in Interview With The Vampire in a deleted scene. Sarah in this was 17 I think

[@babbybobabs8701]

I-I don't think David Bowie would allow that

[@gazhazzler1916]

Looking at this film through less innocent eyes it is about a girl becoming pubescent and then a woman and then pregnant and then a mother and then confused and sad.

[@mejw1]

I soo want this gown!!! I want to look like Sarah head to toe :) I love her hair

[@carlottarobbins7005]

No worries - if you can't make your own version, you can at least see the original at the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle, Washington!

[@bonniestar4707]

You can buy one on Etsy

[@elenabenavides4146]

It's so cool! A Jim Henson exhibit came to one of my local museums earlier this year, and they had these costumes on display, and they were so amazing!!

[@nicolebalane6208]

I was 11 years old when I first watched the movie. It was so awesome and I thank my mom who suggested me to watch this.

[@camilastan1205]

David Bowie as Jareth till this day is still my crush😍

[@erinbroderick4272]

Jennifer Connolly is gorgeous in this scene wow. Somehow with all that makeup David Bowie is so handsome here too!

[@rosaliesalas8578]

My absolute favorite scene from the movie!🥰

[@_aiko020]

I love that this song has a hypnotizing affect.

[@yellowbeardjamesgibson9297]

Even now after all these years who still keeps coming back for Mr.Bowie and Jenifer then and now it's still breathtaking!!!

[@ohfinkael]

this is taking my soul all the time

[@three-patch-problem2024]

Jennifer Connely should make a sequel where Sarah's all grown up and she's had kids and one of them wishes the other away and She goes to save them, but Jareth has other ideas... I really think she should have gone with Jareth... That's just my opinion though.:)

[@Mari-mp1nn]

Right, I wanted her to stay with him. I heard that there is a book called "return to the labyrinth". I guess he searches for her and finds her and her brother is the goblin king for a couple days I guess. Idk maybe I'm worn but yea

[@Mari-mp1nn]

Wrong*

[@ilovestormydayz]

All i can think of is FanFictions i have read.... to be honest if they did make a sequel, it would have to be a romantic porno in order to please most of the fans lol

[@adrianpop4809]

She did go with Jareth actually.

[@starkiller007]

+Three-Patch-Problem That's... not going to happen.

[@ForeverBlooming-05]

Never ending story, this, dark crystal. Etc etc...best movies to exist. Though I was born in 05' I was still raised on watching original movies and songs

[@shannonarthur3585]

I always come back to this

[@Capybaraism]

Farewell, Goblin King! I'll always love you...

[@AniaEwa22]

This scene is pure magic❤ absolutely love this since The first time i Saw The movie

[@hannaha922]

Awww she looks so angelic in this 😍

[@virgo2628]

BEST part in the whole movie :)

[@cyderandsilky]

True,

[@mordaciousfilms]

I saw this film as a child and this has been so imprinted in my being... this whole film resonates so deep, it's beautiful. I want my wedding theme to be Labyrinth Masquerade if I can swing it. ;)
