Customer Reviews

A Czechoslovakian surrealist fantasy, Alice (1988), Kristyna Kohoutova'

Original title: Neco z Alenky. Director Jan Svankmajer. Sometimes found as Alice (1988) Sometimes known as Jan Svankmajer’s Alice Based on the Lewis Carroll novel 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'. Thank goodness for the subtitles. However, you can surprisingly almost understand it without them. Even though Alice was not written for kids, as it is a play on English words and idioms, this version was not dumbed down for children. Its presentation is a combination of live-action and stop-motion, both well integrated. Just be prepared for something different from the old house (Wonderland) to sock puppets and more. The white rabbit is a cut above and reminds us, “Everyone must get stoned.”
