Synopsis:

Screen legends Peter Sellers, John Gielgud, Michael Redgrave, Peter Cook and Leo McKern star in this haunting and surreal adaptation of Lewis Carroll's masterpiece, directed by Jonathan Miller with original music by Ravi Shankar. In this Victorian gothic masterpiece, filmed for the BBC in 1966, an enigmatic young Alice wanders through a Victorian landscape populated by the most bizarre and astonishing characters. She gently questions each one in turn, not so subtly mocking their middle-class English values. Packed with extras from the BBC vault, this Alice in Wonderland is a feast for the imagination!

You've seen the Disney classic, now experience the tale of Alice in Wonderland as never before in this live-action adaptation of the timeless tale from the BBC and director Jonathan Miller. Capturing all of the menace and wonder of Lewis Carroll's age-old classic while injecting the story with a pinch of subversive Victorian gothic satire, this surreal updating of the children's fantasy classic features an all-star cast including Sir Michael Redgrave, Sir John Gielgud, Leo McKern, Peter Cook, Peter Sellers, and Alan Bennett.
