Alice in the Underworld: The Dark Märchen Show!! takes Carroll’s whimsy and flips it into a dark, twisted realm. Directed by the enigmatic Mari Terashima, this adaptation is steeped in goth aesthetics, merging the vibrant performances of the Rose de Reficul et Guiggles troupe with haunting visuals. The pacing is deliberate, drawing you into the eerie atmosphere where every scene feels like a dream dipped in shadow. Practical effects give the characters a tangible presence, and the blend of doll-making and magic adds layers of unsettling charm. Mame Yamada’s presence, as a magician, elevates the surreal vibe, making this film a unique interpretation that stands apart from more traditional renditions. It’s definitely an experience, not merely a retelling.
