ALICE

A nursery setting. A stuffed rabbit comes to life, garbs itself in royal robes, and disappears inside a table in the middle of a field. Alice hastily follows and lands in a world in which she keeps changing size, her tears cause a flood, and a rat makes soup in her hair before succumbing to the temptation of a morsel of cheese in a mousetrap. The astonishing cast of this free Lewis Carroll adaptation further includes a mad hatmaker, a heartless Queen of Hearts, and animated stockings armed with Wonderland survival tactics. A film that enjoys cult status with Tim Burton, among other fans, and exclu- sively follows the logic of surrealist-absurd spatio-temporal experience.
