5. 《 菲比夢游奇境》 Phoebe in Wonderland
Felicity Huffman, Elle Fanning, and Patricia Clarkson star in director/screenwriter Daniel Barnz's illuminating tale of parenting and growth concerning an exceptional young girl whose troubling retreat into fantasy draws the concern of both her dejected mother and her unusually perceptive drama teacher. Phoebe (Fanning) is a talented young student who longs to take part in the school production of Alice in Wonderland, but whose bizarre behavior sets her well apart from her carefree classmates. Her mother (Huffman) is an aspiring academic who is beginning to feel like she has not only failed in her professional career, but as a parent as well. Though Phoebe's gifted drama teacher (Clarkson) has no doubts about the young girl's talent and capacity for learning, the frustration of seeing such a promising student slowly slip ever further away from reality soon becomes a growing concern both at home and at school.
9歲女孩菲比(艾麗·范寧 Elle Fanning 飾)進入學校話劇團,飾演《愛麗絲夢游仙境》的主角愛麗絲,話劇老師道吉爾小姐(帕特里西婭·克拉克森 Patricia Clarkson 飾)對菲比贊譽有佳。但話劇團外的菲比卻問題重重,因向同學吐口水和無法控制自己的行為而屢遭麻煩。菲比的母親希拉里(菲莉絲蒂·夏夫曼 Felicity Huffman 飾)拒絕承認菲比身患強迫性神經官能癥的事實,面對多重壓力,希拉里與丈夫皮特(比爾·普曼 Bill Pullman 飾)的矛盾頻繁升級。與此同時,菲比的癥狀日益加劇,頭腦中的幻象與現實的界限越來越模糊,而校方也對道吉爾小姐對孩子們的教育方法不滿。精心排演的《愛麗絲夢游仙境》最終還能公映嗎?
