passed me by completely in 87 (and the many times

I should get out more).
I love it. It makes me grin so wide I’m afraid my

This is our last post for 2010 so we’ll wish all of
you the happiest of holiday seasons & we’ll resume
posting on Jan 3rd.

succinct, almost philosophical metaphors for the psychology of the self, articulating
transformations of internal and external selves, illusion and reality.
Enthralling first ever screen version of Alice in Wonderland
from 1903, lovingly restored by the folks at the BFI.
There’s no-one –no-one – who could not learn something about film-making from this gem.
Nine minutes of sheer, grinning-with-joy delight.
