Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
This apocalyptic farce-Alice in Wonderland as reconceived by the Marquis de Sade-would mark both the high point and the end of Godard's meteoric career as a popular artist.
The film must be seen, for its power, ambition, humor, and scenes of really astonishing beauty.
