ALICE

Lewis Carroll's best known work gets a creepy yet beautiful facelift from Jan Svankmajer the master Czech animator. Combining live action, stop motion, moving skeletons, moving pieces of meat and other bizarre combination a faithful yet imaginative rendetion of Alice in Wonderland is produced. While some people will jump on this movie for lacking well known character from the novel such as the Mock Turtle and the Cheshire Cat or rendering familiar characters like the Caterpillar and Dormouse in ways they haven't seen them imagined before I find these arguments against the movie very weak. I give this film a 7/10, because its like when you have a dream and try to tell someone about the dream, you remember some points from what actually happened in the dream, but some details get forgotten, exagurated and changed around in your mind or at least that is how i see this version of Alice.


7/10
