As art, is no further than a coarse realism. The artist's comments are too high for his results. It is very funny for a site called "Lewis Carroll Society of North America". Good job.

]]> Comment on Dame Judi Dench will play Alice Liddell Hargreaves! by Gary Brockman http://www.lewiscarroll.org/2012/08/27/dame-judi-dench-will-play-alice-liddell-hargreaves/comment-page-1/#comment-21547 Gary Brockman Sun, 24 Mar 2013 23:03:34 +0000 http://www.lewiscarroll.org/?p=5243#comment-21547 I write on the eve of opening night, but my wife and I saw this during previews last week thanks to nabbing two chance return tickets of this sold-out show. It could not have an abler cast or more generous production values. Most of the audience seemed thrilled by the uninterrupted 90-minute event, but it is just the kind of "play" I dislike. Without spoiling the surprises, I will say it is not realistic or bound by the stated premise for more than what seems minutes. Though we see plenty of stage business and spectacle, the script would make as much sense as a radio piece for six voices. A grim debate about "growing up" in high-flown rhetoric mingles with often surreally altered and intermixed dialog from Carroll and Barrie as we work our way through the darkest and most disturbing elements of the biographies of Mrs. Hargreaves and Mr. Llewelyn Davies. I believe some of the "facts" are misleadingly stated if not downright false, but they often draw gasps. Ben Whishaw acts his heart out. The sets are brilliant. The tickets are expensive though there are a limited number of 10-pound seats available to those who queue early each morning.

The mainstream movie machines wont back a film with such ratings because there is not enough money to be made. If there was money in it we'd see a lot more NC17 rated movies in theaters. And no, they are not going to spend the money to just release a DVD. That makes even less sense. What the film makers should have done was to make it an independent film, and take the whole show overseas, like the movie "Antichrist". It would have gotten better exposure, and would have made it to DVD, and cable/satellite TV. Antichrist was never even submitted for a MPAA because they knew it would never be a theatrical release in the US . Thats the only way these kind of movies get through to the world.
