Alice

About This Movie

Alice (2018) offers a curious glimpse into the psyche of its titular character, wrapped in the unique atmosphere of the mid-1970s New York. The film stands out with its unconventional narrative style, blending Maria Lassnig's introspective voice-over with striking visuals—like the superimposed fireworks that playfully contrast the rawness of the body on screen. The pacing is deliberately languid, inviting viewers to linger on moments that might otherwise seem mundane. The use of Händel’s music adds an unexpected layer, evoking emotions that resonate beyond the visuals. It’s not your typical drama; it’s a reflective piece that challenges the viewer to ponder the nature of self, identity, and the performance of femininity.
