ну надо же,

לדעתי נכון,שאפילו לא בא בחשבון לעצור ולא לראות בכלל את הסרט, אבל להגיד שהיה אפשר לשכוח לרגע על מציאות מזעזעה ונוראית ... - וחיבור של בלתי מחובר משגעגע ושובר לב משפיע בכל מיני דרכים אבל לא מוביל מעברלמציאות



הקטעים איפה היא/הם בשדה [והשדה חיטה, ש באמת כמו ים והצבעים] והחיוך שלה וכל הסצנות עם דיקנס – היופי הנפלא והאווירה הפואטית ומתחת הכל – גיהינום של המציאות איך – אין לי מילים

there are the usual trademarks: wide angle photography, madness, silly voices, cages, incredibly filthy teeth, читать дальшеand a climax that feels like it's falling of the screen right over you. The first couple of scenes as Jeliza-Rose's life is being turned upside down are chaotic, frenetic and busy in a style we're familiar with from this filmmaker, but as Jeliza-Rose adjusts to her life on the plains, the pace slows down, and the scenes open up. The beautiful cinematography skews almost every angle and bit by bit Jeliza-Rose's fantasies start to dominate the screen. The film opens with a quote from Alice in Wonderland that dominates the entire film: "Alice didn't know anymore whether she was falling very slowly or falling very deep". Likewise Jeliza-Rose falls down the rabbit hole (at one point literally) and we the audience are falling down the rabbler with her. The whole story resounds with echoes from Jeliza-Rose's favourite book. The dominating and scary Dell recalls the Mad hatter and the Queen of Hearts. Dickens has something of the white knight about him. And there are some elements that seem to come straight out of the movie Psycho, this leads to some grotesque imagery that some people will probably find hard to stomach

Certainly Jeliza-Rose gets trapped in some situations that to an adult seem very dangerous, and there were moments where I wanted to get up from my seat and be able to take this little girl and tell her things would be alright. However Jodelle Ferland and Gilliam have made her a strong and intelligent child and she does manage on her own. It's the absolute honesty with which she is portrayed and the innocence that are shocking. As Gilliam has said this is a film to scare adults not children. I can't remember when I've last seen a film that so honestly and accurately portrays a child's imagination and the way it affects her life, and it's laudable that it doesn't shy away or try to paint a pretty picture, from the more murky parts of her life and development



This is largely achieved through Jodelle Ferland's stunning performance, her acting is so natural and captivating you are immediately won over by her. Janet Macteer plays the formidable Dell with a touch of tenderness and a streak of wildness that make her character truly scary
