Neco z Alenky (Alice)

[Mitch]

Not only am I thankful that I just saw this awesome movie, but also for the fact that I never saw it as a child.

This extremely short review pretty much sums it up although the close-ups it mentions didn't really bother me: http://www.filmcritic.com/misc/emporium.nsf/reviews/Alice-%281988%29

Svankmajer is a crazy fuck.

Have you seen this? Doesn't even feel like a movie; I honestly felt like I was watching someone's nightmare. Absolutely loved it.

I haven't. I've only seen Faust and Darkness/Light/Darkness.

[Mitch]

I haven't. I've only seen Faust and Darkness/Light/Darkness.

I'm surprised...I kind of thought you've seen everything this world has ever produced ;-)

You should give this a shot. It's available for instant stream on Netflix, if you have an account. Don't be put off by the fact that it's dubbed--it just sort of adds to the creepiness, ha.

[Mitch]

Oh and it references The Shining which automatically makes it worth watching.

check this article out, it's the reason I originally checked the film out: http://www.avclub.com/articles/alice,26377/

[Mitch]

Did you like it as much as I did or no?

[Thomas Balkcom]

Did you like it as much as I did or no?

not as much, but I did enjoy it much more than I thought I would.

[Thomas Balkcom]

Oh and it references The Shining which automatically makes it worth watching.

where is this reference?

[Mitch]

not as much, but I did enjoy it much more than I thought I would.

Damn, I thought it was wonderful. Like I said in one of my posts above, I didn't even feel like I was watching a movie...Haven't experienced something like that since I first saw Eraserhead! Haha.

Oh and that was definitely an interesting article.

[Mitch]

where is this reference?

Haha watch this clip

Intentional or not, IMDB also lists this scene as a reference to The Shining.

[Thomas Balkcom]

haha, wow. and yeah it definitely is an experience.

[Mitch]

I liked that everything I doubted about the movie before watching it (particularly the dubbing and stop motion) ended up just adding to the creepiness.

[marrost]

Haha watch this clip

3jj6DOoBR4I

Intentional or not, IMDB also lists this scene as a reference to The Shining.That audio is from The Shining itself..

[Mitch]

That audio is from The Shining itself..

I know.

[marrost]

Seemed like you didn't by saying that it may have been an unintentional reference. Onward.

Someone put the audio from The Shining to that scene--doesn't mean it's an intentional reference by the director (although I'm sure it is).

[marrost]

Ah it was an edit, my bad haha.

[Mitch]

Haha

[abandonship]

I saw this at my library the other day. I'll probably get it some time next week.

[cantnokdahustle]

I just watched this with my toddler, pretty much killed any chance of him having a happy childhood.

[Wake Up]

Oh, I hated this movie.

[eraserhead]

Watching this right now, shit is fucked.

[Mitch]

Hahaha, yeah. Hope you enjoy it though...My friends at school all HATED it.

[eraserhead]

I didn't finish it yet, but I really enjoyed what I saw. The stop-motion is very well-done.
