A daring, bold, and startlingly original retelling of the classic children's novel Peter Pan, Neverland unfolds against an ultra-modern, hyper-realistic backdrop. When Peter takes Wendy to Neverland -- a burnt-out suburban amusement park filled with self-styled fairies, lost punks, and ambiguously beautiful performers -- the ultimate fantasy/adventure story becomes a fascinating nightmare at the hands of Captain Hook, who is hell-bent on destroying the youth and beauty he so desperately envies. And in case you're curious, that is Star Trek: The Next Generation's Wil Wheaton as John Darling. Directed by gay filmmaker Damion Dietz and shot using groundbreaking, cutting-edge film and digital video technology, Neverland is a striking motion picture that artfully exposes the sinister side of the fairy tale that is seared into our pop-cultural consciousness. US, 2003, 83 min., video
