Editor's Note
In director Wolfgang Petersen's charming fantasy, Bastian (Barrett Oliver), a lonely schoolboy alienated from his father and bullied by his classmates, retreats to an attic where he becomes engrossed in a book entitled THE NEVERENDING STORY. It is the tale of a magical kingdom appropriately named Fantasia, since it is a world born of human fantasies. However, as humanity loses faith in the power of imagination, the once-thriving Fantasia is being destroyed by great storms of Nothingness. Dangerously ill herself, Fantasia's youthful empress (Tami Stronach) sends the young warrior Atreju (Noah Hathaway) on a quest to find a cure for the kingdom. After encountering flying dragons, swamp monsters and a vast assortment of other strange creatures, the young hero discovers that only a human boy can save Fantasia, at which point Bastian is drawn, literally, into the pages of the story.

| Director Wolfgang Petersen was riding high on the success of Das Boot, the 1981 WWII film set on a submarine. The film was nominated for six Academy Awards and I have to think that he had his choice of projects to do as his follow-up. The one he chose was an adaptation of Michael Ende's novel The NeverEnding Story. Petersen not only took it on to direct, but he also co-wrote the screenplay with Herman Weigl. I have to say, even with the successful outcome, it seems an odd choice to jump from war drama to children's fantasy. The film really is a solid family film that, while not perfect, still holds up today....read the full review | |
