Alice in Wonderland told through the lens of Jan Švankmajer.
Young Alice watches as the stuffed rabbit in her living room smashes itself out of a display case and disappears on a journey through a garden, soon followed by the girl who drinks a potion that allows her to enter a nightmarish, dark world where nothing makes sense. Alice in Wonderland provides the source material for this incredible surreal fantasy from the Czech auteur, making his first feature film following many classic shorts produced over the previous two decades. It’s an extraordinary film – unlike anything you have ever seen before.
Dir. Jan Švankmajer, Czechoslovakia 1988, 84min, Digital, English subtitles, Certificate PG
