Or, conversely, those who are truly and madly theatrically inclined. What a trippy trip down the rabbit hole this flick dares to embark upon. There are stunning performances from the masters of British stage and screen, which do not disappoint. The sets, staging, and use of lighting and other cinematography tricks are sure to delight. However, this fascinating and clever interpretation is not for the faint of heart. Its meticulous artistic dreamlike splendor requires attention and effort to fully embrace. The hidden innuendos of the original Lewis Carroll masterpiece are captured with utmost care, sometimes ensnaring the viewer with sharp and harsh rigor. It's an adult program, one rich with lessons of immorality and toil, outlining the difficulty of humanity and the challenge of understanding perception itself. This film is a historical treasure and an odd delight. One that Carroll himself would, no doubt, find worthy of experiencing. Review: A very unique version of a classic tale - I bought this movie at the suggestion of a British friend who thought I should see a vastly different take on the classic Alice in Wonderland story- and wow was he right. It's a black and white film for starters, which gives it a film noir kind of feel right away. The storyline unfolds with some liberties taken on the book and the movies I had previously seen. It's kinky and artsy but fun to watch. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002VXEC26 | | Actors | John Gielgud, Michael Redgrave, Peter Cook, Peter Sellers, Wilfrid Brambell | | Aspect Ratio | 1.33:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #109,067 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #1,205 in Fantasy DVDs #2,689 in Music Videos & Concerts (Movies & TV) #16,855 in Drama DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (124) | | Director | Jonathan Miller | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 1.0) | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Black & White, DVD, NTSC, Subtitled | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | Cecil M.

It's a black and white film for starters, which gives it a film noir kind of feel right away. The storyline unfolds with some liberties taken on the book and the movies I had previously seen. It's kinky and artsy but fun to watch. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Alice Reviews... :> *by E***C on September 19, 2012* This is one in a series of reviews that will eventually be posted for every Alice in Wonderland title available on Amazon. When the Tim Burton rendition of AIW with Johnny Depp was due out in 2010 I thought it might be a good time to go back and watch the benchmark Walt Disney production from 1951, which I saw -or assumed I saw- as a child. It was a chance to get reacquainted with the many varied characters from the story as sort of a warm up for the Burton film. Upon viewing the Disney classic I was astonished to realize that I had likely never seen more than a few clips (at most) of that beautifully rendered Alice in Wonderland. So much seemed brand new. Nor did I have a memory of ever seeing any other "Alice" production. Then I realized that I had never read the book! Wait a minute. Where then did my memory of the Alice story come from? The curiosity sparked by that question ultimately led me over the next two years to accumulate every version of Alice in Wonderland still in existence. Well over 40 by the way! This general commentary continues over in the review sections for both the 1951 AIW production from Walt Disney ( Alice in Wonderland (Masterpiece Edition) ) and the 2010 production starring Johnny Depp ( Alice in Wonderland ). As these are the two most well known Alice's, rather then attempt to add yet-another-review for those two films, it seemed like it might be a more fun use of the provided space to muse a bit on the popularity and remarkable longevity of the story spawned by Lewis Carroll in 1865, as well as to share with you a bit of what I picked up while watching these 40 or so renderings of Alice in Wonderland. All other Alice productions listed by Amazon have a specific review for that title. Review of this 1966 version... To use words such as "unique' and "unusual" to describe anything having to do with Alice in Wonderland is like calling the ocean blue. Still, this particular telling of the "Alice" story takes a point of view separate and apart from any other. It's the only Alice I have seen so far where the characters are not in costume (animal costumes anyway). What? No White Rabbit? No. No Caterpillar? Nope. No Mock Turtle? Negative. They're there, but the actors are not in makeup. That and other attributes makes this wonderland world more "real" than others. Alice doesn't fall down a rabbit hole, she walks into a tunnel. She wanders through, not sets on a stage, but mostly real buildings. In other words she really never leaves this [purposefully created as B&W] world. I find this fascinating. To manifest the Alice story in this way reinforces the idea that Alice in Wonderland is as much `archetypal' as anything else, and that a particular story teller can use the core elements of the Alice tale to make their own points. What is the point here? Perhaps it's the same as the point made in the closing credits of the original TRON, where a stop motion sequence of night freeway traffic in the "real" world mimics the mindless rush in the alternate-reality of the computer world that the lead character has just escaped from. Or maybe the film maker is suggesting what director Robert Altman said when commenting on the film; Six degrees of Separation, that in fact it may be more like only 3 degrees that separate us from each other... and by inference, one world from another, one reality from another. In this production, thirteen year old Anne-Marie Mallik wanders through her wonderland in quiet observation. The actress looks more like the original John Tenniel illustration of Alice than perhaps any other. She rarely speaks, but we hear her thoughts. She is mostly expressionless throughout her ordeal, seemingly unaffected by it... certainly not succumbing to it. In fact, this Alice is so deliberately without emotion I started to wonder if writer/director Jonathan Miller was intending what George Lucas intended when he created C-3PO. Lucas wanted a face sans of all expression so that we, the audience, would each read in to the character what we would. Perhaps that is what Miller was seeking. Or perhaps I am just reading into Alice's look a bit too much. ;> Miller actually does share his point of view about this Alice adventure in an article he wrote around the time the production was released on a British TV series called `The Wednesday Play' (google: "startrader the wednesday play season six alice in wonderland" for the article). Miller's point of view seems to be that in writing about Alice's trials and tribulations as she moved through Wonderland, Lewis Carroll was merely symbolizing the trials and tribulations of childhood. That explanation would help apply meaning to Alice's tendency to grow and shrink throughout her adventure, culminating in her ability to grow in size without the aid of potions or mushrooms in the final court scene, where the child stops allowing everyone to tell her what to do, and instead finally rejects the nonsense taking place around her. A few closing notes... we are of course in the psychedelic 60's at the point this version of Alice is tendered. So if this kind of Alice were to be made it seems this would be its time. The movie is layered with original music from Ravi Shankar, the Sitar musician who inspired the Beatles to infuse Indian music into their own sound. The sitar and oboe based sound track adds a soothing, other-worldly layer to the video and produces a rather hypnotic, "trippy" feeling. By the way, watch for the placement of mirrors in this film. There is one passage at least where Alice's reflection reacts to what is happening while Alice herself remains motionless.
