A visually and intellectually stimulating film that showcases Švankmajer’s unparalleled skill in crafting a narrative that is as eerie as it is fascinating. Rating: 4.5/5 2. Alice (1988) - Directed by Jan Švankmajer Another iconic film by Švankmajer, Alice is his feature-length adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland . However, Švankmajer’s version is far from a traditional retelling. It dives deep into the subconscious, presenting a dark and fantastical journey filled with bizarre creatures and logic-defying events.
