The
powerful and moving Phoebe in
Wonderland, which had its
world premiere at this year’s Sundance Film
Festival, is centered around a young girl (Elle Fanning) who longs to be in
her school’s production of “Alice in Wonderland.” After being cast in
the lead role of Alice by her unconventional drama teacher (Patricia
Clarkson), Phoebe reveals a unique talent but, much like Alice herself, is
increasingly at odds with the world around her and begins to retreat into a
world of her imagination. Though her parents (Felicity Huffman and Bill
Pullman) initially see their daughter’s unusual behavior as signs of
creativity, they gradually realize that Phoebe is at risk of falling “through
the looking glass.” Produced by Ben Barnz and Lynette Howell. Executive
Producer: Doug Dey. Director of Photography: Bobby Bukowski.
A THINKFilm release.
