"Return to Oz," directed by Walter Murch, is a darker, more surreal sequel to the beloved "The Wizard of Oz." The film follows a now preteen Dorothy Gale, played by Fairuza Balk, as she returns to the magical land of Oz after being sent to a mental institution. Upon her arrival, she discovers that the Emerald City has fallen into ruin, ruled by the evil Nome King and a sinister enchantress, Mombi, who has stolen the heads of the inhabitants. Accompanied by new friends, including a talking chicken named Billina and the wheeled, headless statue Tik-Tok, Dorothy embarks on a quest to save Oz and restore its former glory. With its imaginative but haunting visuals and themes of courage and resilience, "Return to Oz" offers a unique and unconventional take on L. Frank Baum's beloved universe, appealing to those who appreciate a more gothic fantasy.
