Title: Alice - 1988 Czech Film
Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, October 2, 2007, 18:58:46
Just watched it and it's pretty fucked up. Ace though. I vaguely remember seeing a bit of it as a kid and stumbled upon a reference to it on the internets and so got hold of a copy.

Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_%281988_film%29)
IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095715/)

It's your standard Czech Surrealist makes a live action / stop-motion animation mix film of Lewis Carroll's books affair.

I wouldn't watch it when stoned or anything but definitely worth a viewing. Some of the stop-motion stuff is creepy strange. The White Rabbit who snorts up his own sawdust stuffing stuff when he pulls out his pocket watch is bizarre and ace.

Here you go, have a picture

Anybody else discovered any crazy films recently?

The only other thing I can think of is The Way Things Go (Der Lauf Der Dinge) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Lauf_Der_Dinge).

It's where Honda thiefed the idea for those adverts with things rolling into each other. Not so much a film as just a long sequence of events which shows that people can have far too much time on there hands. Just about fills out 30mins without getting too repetitive.

Have a picture of that to, although it doesn't really mean much if you can't see where things are going.

Might have been where the torrent I got originated from, I don't think that it's working any more though because I can't find it on their lists.

Might have to get Faust though.

You got Alice downloading ok?
