About

When Alice follows the White Rabbit into Wonderland she embarks on uncanny expedition into an astonishing landscape, encountering many dangerous and disconcerting adventures along the way. Jan Švankmajer’s first feature film is a strikingly original interpretation of Lewis Carroll's nineteenth-century fairy tale, which strongly influenced the development of subsequent Surrealist art and film movements. Švankmajer’s Alice draws on this legacy, blending live-action and stop-motion animation and amplifying the psychoanalytic qualities of Carroll’s story.
