Alice / Neco z Alenky / Czechoslovakia / Switzerland / UK / West Germany / 1988

Jan Svankmajer’s Alice is an absolute nightmare, its wonderland populated by macabre dolls, corpses of small animals, and even Frankensteined skeletons of the latter. It is, by contrast, quite modest in some aspects in comparison to the more popular Disney rendition (the entire film seems to occur in only a few adjacent rooms), but it is immeasurably more disturbing—as, I think, Lewis Carroll’s source should be.

    very creepy and surreal film- the disaccord between the english voice-over and the girl’s lip movement in all those close-up shots of her speaking made it all the more unsettling for me.
