Manson

Manson has directed and starred in a movie, I looked it up and found out it's coming out this year. It's right up my street, firstly because it's Manson - I'm already interested, secondly it's set in the fantastical victorian era and thirdly it's about the mysterious Lewis Caroll! I'm really excited. The film is called'Phantasmagoria: The visions of a girl named Alice and the summary of the plot has been described as a haunted writer in an isolated castle, tormented by sleepless nights and visions of a girl named Alice, of which the writer becomes a symptom of his own invention.

Manson describes the plot himself: "I want to take the children's story that we all know, and discover the horrifying roots that grow beneath everyone of it's childish metaphors. The characters may be absurd and wrapped in puzzles, but the author himself if the story that I find painfully close to me. Lewis Carroll is far more complex than the world's narrow perception of him as a quiet deacon, a mathematician and a loner, simply obsessed with photographing young girls. He was possibly one of the most divided souls living in his own hell that the world overlooked" and the style of his directing, “It‘s kind of a return to Hitchcock-style psychological horror about letting your mind do the damage and sometimes what you don’t see is scarier."Lily Cole is playing the role of Alice, Tilda Winton as Lewis Carroll's dream wife and of course Manson playing the Mr. Carroll.
