Lewis Carroll’s twee surrealist classic takes on a twisted new shape courtesy of visionary Czech animator Jan Švankmajer. In this stop-motion cult fave, Alice is a real girl and the White Rabbit is a moth-nibbled taxidermied corpse whom she alternately trails and flees. The fall to Neverland becomes a dusty museum trundle, Neverland a string of grotty little rooms. Brilliant, deadpan, and creepy as shit.
1988 Jan Svankmajer 1.37:1 Color DCP 86 min.
