STEVIE I THINK IT SHOULD READ LIKE THIS..... john, a more accurate review of the movie follows, make up your own mind....

There is probably no single word in the English language which can > adequately describe Michael Winterbottom's latest film - Wonderland EXCEPT FOR PREHAPS DREADFUL > > It is a film of raw beauty (LIKE THE INNARDS OF A COW) and spellbinding power (IE, HE FELL ASLEEP) > The director, Michael Winterbottom, shoots everything in a grainy (THAT'S BECAUSE LONDON IS GRAINY) > hand-held - almost camcorder style (CORRECT, HIS LITTLE BROTHER FILMED IT ON HIS MUMS VIDEO RECORDER) which imparts the events to us from the > inside out (LIKE LOOKING OUT A COW'S ARSE FROM THE INSIDE), rather than staged (THAT'S BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T ACT) . Its like there is an invisible camera > ceaselessly exploring the (INCREDIBLY DULL) characters lives- this technique seems to give > the viewer a sense that they are watching real people who are not aware of > us (AS SAID - THEY COULDN'T ACT)
> Wonderland plots a long weekend in the lives of three south London > sisters (A TART, A WANNA BE TART AND A PREGNANT TART), their parents (A DOG KILLER AND A PATHETIC OLD MAN) and brother (A ROOTER) > Wonderland is a sea of strangers (I WISH THEY'D STAYED STRANGERS TO ME), all lonely and all hungry for love (DOESN'T SURPRISE ME ONE BIT), - > Interspersing the films sober moments are extraordinary (??????) sequences where > the camera submerges in neon lights (WHEN???

Everything > plays out at a realistic pace (YES, VERY HO HUM). The rhythms and sounds of real life are > captured - in homes, pubs, hairdressers, dates, phones etc (LIKE YOU DON'T GET THAT EVERYDAY IN YOUR OWN IINCREDIBLY DULL LIFE) > For me, Wonderland has a haunting quality which left me in tears (OF RELIEF) scenes are riveting (NOT)for their simple (AS SAID, HIS LITTLE BROTHER FILMED IT) but profound drama, others are > mesmerising for their cinematic power, where image, sound, music and > emotion fuse in a chain reaction > Wonderland - the best (WORST) film of year (CENTURY) - cinema verite like never before > open your heart to the magic that it is - go see it - (HOW UTTERLY RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!) > > Ian
