Neco z Alenky aka Alice [1988] Jan Svankmajer
Rotten Tomatoes: 100%
IMDb: A surrealistic revision of Alice in Wonderland.
Stars: Kristýna Kohoutová, Camilla Power
i think jan svankmajer’s alice is probably my favorite movie adaptation of the book, and most definitely the closest to the book in plot and stuff. of course it cuts a lot out but more in the sense that it doesn’t get through a lot of the plot. it’s not rushed, everything happens pretty slowly. like it ends much earlier than the book does.
svankmajer’s movies are all very surreal and that blends perfectly with lewis carroll’s books. they balance each other well. it’s very weird! very fun. cute and bizarre and definitely more than a little freaky.
i think this movie just stays so close to the original while also being incredibly creative. it’s very off-putting but in the best way possible. and it makes me want to eat sawdust and beef tongue
