Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made in 1982 Poland under martial law, this was state-funded escapism that accidentally became a metaphor for escaping oppressive reality through imagination—or death.
Paul Nicholas plays both Cheshire Cat AND Caterpillar because budget, and his Caterpillar is inexplicably a jazz saxophonist in a velvet smoking jacket. The 80s were a disease.
