Add a CommentAfter watching the film, I would suggest that the viewer watch it again with the director's commentary (part of the extra features package). Also worth watching is Dennis Potter's biopic on Carroll's relationship with Alice. For those with an interest in the history of film, Hepworth's 1903 silent version is also worth a look.
I agree that it is a must to already know the story to be able to follow this movie otherwise you will likely feel a little lost. It's a black and white film from 1966, so if you don't appreciate those types of movies it's not for you.
An interesting twist on a classic. It helps if you know the story. I would not recommend it to someone who doesn't know the story.
