“Legend (1985) is a 1980s Anglo-American dark-fantasy that stages a compact quest to avert an eternal ice age. A fated forest dweller must rescue Princess Lili and confront a demonic antagonist, rendered in high-contrast chiaroscuro and mythic mise-en-scene. Legend (1985) demonstrates how 1980s fantasy retooled fairy-tale stakes into a ritualized coming-of-age study for visual-centric genre analysis.”
