Black Moon and Alice


Last night we watched "Black Moon", a film loosely based on Alice in Wonderland. For me, the film left a lot to be desired and I spent a few hours thinking about the Lewis Carroll illustrations I loved as a child, as well as the other representations I've seen. It seems that the story has been an inspiration for so many talented artists!























Also, I found this exciting version of Alice in Wonderland, filmed in 1903!



The inspiration for the character Alice was a woman named Alice Liddell, here are a few photographs of her as a child.






And, here is one of the original pages from Lewis Carroll's book:

  1. Great Alice stuff, though honestly I don't see much connection between Alice and the film "Black Moon".

  2. Well, maybe a bit. The director says Alice influenced him.

    Loved the 1903 movie, BTW.
