Title: Down a darker rabbit hole
Review: Here's a surreal version of Alice in Wonderland that's both unsettling & compelling, a marvel of Eastern European stop-motion animation & sensibiity. The juxtapostion of Alice's innocence (or apparent innocence, at any rate) & the nightmarish rendition of Wonderland as something more like the underworld, the land of the dead & the disturbed, is one long frisson of darkened delight. It indeed has the quality of a sustained dream, and I've no doubt that the original Surrealists would have found themselves very much at home in it. Not for everyone, of course, but likely to appeal to a much larger audience that one might initially imagine.Highly recommended!
