Alice in Wonderland (1951) and Alice (1988)

'Alice had got so much into the way of expecting nothing but out-of-the-way things to happen, that it seemed quite dull for life to go on in the common way'Robin and Carolina come back from their brief hiatus to discuss not one, but two Alice's Adventures in Wonderland adaptations: Disney's 'Alice in Wonderland' (1951) and Jan Švankmajer's 'Alice' (1988).Politics include: Victorian satire, logic that isn't logic (but maybe is), how growing up is scary but exciting, the value of wonderment to the human experience, and a bucket of dead oysters.More cool, psychedelic writing about the meaning of Alice:'Female identity in Wonderland' by Anna Cermakova (you knew there would be one about feminism)'Alice's adventures in algebra' by Melanie Bayley (really rather good, actually)'Carroll's satirical vision of the age' by Ansam Khyoon (more politics, for you nerds)If you like what you hear, please rate and subscribe to the show wherever you're listening, it will help others find the pod.You will hopefully be able to see us as well as hear us, and we would love to know what you think, so please leave a comment wherever you're listening to this!Follow us on:Instagram @ministryoffilmpodBluesky @ministryoffilmpod.bskyb.social
