Wicked

Wicked follows the early days of the two who will become the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of the West – Galinda and Elphaba – at Shiz University in the Land of Oz. The pair become unlikely friends, but what happened to turn them into archnemeses? This plot, which was a best-selling book that became an ongoing Broadway musical hit, is now coming to the screen. What's remarkable about it – apart from all the pyrotechnics – is its ability to take the character of the evil witch and present the context of her life in a way that inspires empathy. But above all, this is simply a tremendous cinematic spectacle, with songs, dances, effects, colors, and sounds – something that directly operates on the senses and offers an experience that completely envelops the mind.
