Overview

Settle into your chair and be transported to a place both familiar and alien; where a giant shop-girl can barely fit in her store, there’s a weird green pod in every bedroom, and terrifying wood nymphs provide a heartbroken woman with the anatomically correct fruit everyone seems to covet. In the end we are left, like Alice, with the Red King’s conundrum: are we dreaming them or are they dreaming us?

Viewing Notes

4th film of Day 5 at FF2012, 22nd overall of the festival. Loose yet seemingly unrelated sequel to Funky Forest tho much more linear if that’s possible since it’s really a mashup of several different stories that are united by three separate groups the criss cross in an alternate story line. Hard to describe but I think I enjoyed this film more than Funky Forest. Weird but not that weird. Generally funny.
