OZ!

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2019)

A film that i have returned to once again since my childhood. For being such an early film this is absolutely amazing One of the most cherished fantasy films to ever grace the screen, "The Wizard of Oz" stands as a crowning achievement in 1930's film making. The special effects are highly impressive considering the limited technology available at the time, not to mention they are infinitely more endearing than most CGI effects present in today's films. The lavish sets, impeccable costume design, and glowing Technicolor help to create a convincing and enchanting Land of Oz. And though obviously filmed on a sound stage, the sets never seem confining; thanks largely in part to the meticulous backdrop paintings .
