Descrizione:

Of course, the real reason why six years have elapsed since the release of the first movie is that “Alice in Wonderland” is a singular work children’s literature, and Lewis Carroll’s follow-up novel is so bonkers and beautiful that it would sooner lend itself to the acid-warped visions of Alejandro Jodoworsky than it would the disembodied corporate ethos of Walt Disney. Screenwriter Linda Woolverton was tasked with taking a book that Suzanne Todd describes as “essentially an allegory of a chess match and a bunch of random and bizarre episodes from Caroll’s life which don’t bear any relation to one another” and bending it into a piece of family entertainment that can play in China. On the one hand, Lewis Carroll is the Thomas Pynchon of young adult literature, and “Alice Through the Looking Glass” is his “Gravity’s Rainbow.” On the other hand… money.
