Alice

As ever, the texture and colours of Eva Svankmajerova's art direction are impeccable...

Mia Farrow stars as Alice, who has no apparent relationship to Alice in Wonderland but finds her own looking-glass in the dingy walk-up offices of the highly recommended Dr. Yang in New York's Chinatown.

Svankmajer’s stop-motion animation lends itself well to the surreal and playful content he often used. There’s a certain whimsy inherent to the style...

The director combines live action and puppet animation to create a disturbing vision of Alice's world, filled with images of death and violence.
