black wonderland

Svankmeyer's films, whether they are feature films or short films, exude a strong dark wind. Based on Alice's dreams, the film develops a dark adult fairy tale full of horrific faces and devastation. The rabbit image in the film can be described as Swanmayer's signature animated image. It was supposed to symbolize the cute rabbit turned into a skeleton zombie that exudes a rotten smell, constantly chewing wood chips, pinning the open belly with a pin to prevent the wood chips from flowing out, in a dark room full of taxidermy and skeletons, the rabbit keeps taking out a pocket watch Looking at the time, Alice's mouth close-up speaks the lines instead of other animated characters, which also indicates that all the characters and story development in the film are known to Alice, are what Alice thinks, and are all arranged by Alice , are Alice's self-injection. It can be said that the whole film is carried out in a surreal way, the tears from Alice's eyes flooded the whole room like a waterfall, the black mouse climbed to the top of Alice's head and made a fire for a picnic. The blue ink that will become normal after it is finished, the pork belly crawling out of the ceramic jar (Swanmeier's films are always full of crawling and wriggling pork belly....) The socks keep burrowing and crawling like caterpillars, and the frog dressed by the judge uses The large tongue preys on the flies on the cutlery, and the audience follows Alice as she watches this weird and crazy world. The pair of scissors that symbolized power finally came from the hands of the rabbit to Alice, who entered the adult world in this bizarre roaming story.
