Film Synopsis
On her return to Underland after a period of three years, Alice Kingsleigh
is saddened to learn that the Mad Hatter is in a desperate state after the
disappearance of his family. Naturally, Alice is ready to do all she
can to help her old friend, so she adopts the suggestion of the White Queen
to persuade Time to intervene and save the Hatter's family in the past.
Time insists that what has happened cannot be changed, but Alice thinks otherwise.
By stealing the Chronosphere, a device that powers time, she believes she
will be able to project herself into the past and rewrite history.
Alice knows that if she does so there is a danger that history may come unravelled,
but it is a risk she is willing to take to save the Mad Hatter...

Kafka's tortuous trial of love
Franz Kafka's letters to his fiancée Felice Bauer not only reveal a soul in torment; they also give us a harrowing self-portrait of a man appalled by his own existence.
With so many great films to choose from, it's nigh on impossible to compile a short-list of the best 15 French films of all time - but here's our feeble attempt to do just that.
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
