Woody Adjacent - Donald Sutherland & Ellen Burstyn - Alex In Wonderland (1970)

Welcome back to another episode of Woody Adjacent - Tis the season to be jolly and give you a DOUBLE release this month

 

Todays movie up for discussion was actually another request put forward to us by our friends at the Woody Allen Subreddit

 

It was quite the experience.. lol - i hope you can appreciate the conversation.. even if we get some coal in our stockings for our thoughts :P

 

In Alex In Wonderland (1970) Donald Sutherland portrays Alex Morrison, a successful film director fresh off the critical and artistic acclaim of his first feature film, Alex finds himself facing a daunting task – choosing his next project. Anxiety and self-doubt cloud his vision, leaving him creatively paralysed.

 

Alex's internal struggle manifests in a series of fantastical scenarios heavily influenced by his cinematic idols. He envisions directing grand historical epics, biopics of controversial figures, and even black power films. These internal fantasies intertwine with his real-life encounters with Hollywood producers, casting directors, and fellow artists like Federico Fellini, creating a blurry line between dreams and reality.
