Celebrating the 'logic of dreams', Švankmajer's take on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland mixes animation with live action to create a universe in which machines, toys and puppets come to life. Unafraid of treading on the toes of a hallowed classic, the film remains utterly true to the absurd and menacing spirit of Lewis Carroll's work.
Dir Jan Švankmajer, Switzerland/UK/Germany 1988, 86 mins, subtitles.
