[REVIEW] Then again was re: Alice in Wonderland

[rfmcdonald]

Victoria made a wonderful point to me, in conversation after our group's weekly dose of Sayles, about how the Victorian world of Alice in Wonderland isn't our Victorian world, the one that will forever be defined entirely by costume dramas and APA citations, but rather a more open-ended Victorian world, one that doesn't have every possibility confirmed or denied and leaves no leeway for the viewer to imagine something different than what could have been. The denizens of a past world shown in film now have more possibilities than reality could have offered.

(I give the film an eight or even a nine out of ten, now.)
