Film Synopsis
On her return to Underland after a period of three years, Alice Kingsleigh
is saddened to learn that the Mad Hatter is in a desperate state after the
disappearance of his family. Naturally, Alice is ready to do all she
can to help her old friend, so she adopts the suggestion of the White Queen
to persuade Time to intervene and save the Hatter's family in the past.
Time insists that what has happened cannot be changed, but Alice thinks otherwise.
By stealing the Chronosphere, a device that powers time, she believes she
will be able to project herself into the past and rewrite history.
Alice knows that if she does so there is a danger that history may come unravelled,
but it is a risk she is willing to take to save the Mad Hatter...

The very best of German cinema
German cinema was at its most inspired in the 1920s, strongly influenced by the expressionist movement, but it enjoyed a renaissance in the 1970s.
American film comedy had its heyday in the 1920s and '30s, but it remains an important genre and has given American cinema some of its enduring classics.
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
It was American film noir and pulp fiction that kick-started the craze for thrillers in 1950s France and made it one of the most popular and enduring genres.
