"I saw this at the Thalia, probably in the middle of winter. Heat was not its specialty. Richard Widmark manages to portray himself as twisted, conniving, pathological, sleazy, tragic, vulnerable, and handsome all at once in most of the movies I’ve seen him in, and never more exquisitely than in this, one of my favorite film noirs. Though I must confess, I’ve never seen Rollercoaster."

"Another melodrama, of a completely different genre. An airport novel plot and a mise en scène in which the bitterness transcends the twisted connections between a young innocent girl, her seductress mother and the men. All is blood and cruelty, absolute misery and decadent eroticism. The kind of meeting between outsider art, Fassbinder and Z movie that makes you want to dive into Brocka’s insane filmography."

I absolutely adore Alice in Wonderland and this Twisted Tale just made me want more!
This is the second of the Twisted Tale series that I have read and I have not been disappointed so far. I love the retelling of the Disney stories that I grew up watching and adored so much, and these tales take me right back to the excitement I had as a child when first watching these films.
We revisit Alice eleven years after her original adventure in Wonderland just as she is coming to the realisation that maybe Wonderland was a dream that her younger self made up. Just as she comes to this realisation and has started to take photographs of the inhabitants of her town as a hobby, the inhabitants of Wonderland start appearing in her photographs, but not happily… Alice then has to find her way back to Wonderland and a way to save all of the characters that she loved so dearly the first time around.
I enjoyed revisiting the characters and trying to solve the new riddles that were presented through this book, both the actual riddles and trying to decide who was which character in both worlds. This book only strengthened my love for Alice and her Wonderland!
I look forward to reading more of the Twisted Tale series soon!
