Shaky and stirring, Ali au pays des Merveilles shows an increasingly devastating conflict between the actions of workers and those of the society that employs them without ever seeing or considering them. Luxury shops and boutiques selling haute couture contrast brutally with the living conditions and work undertaken by the Algerians. Images of narrow walkways between tower blocks, slums, substandard apartments, respond figuratively to society’s repressive order of police violence and racism, as well as France’s colonial legacy (the filmmakers include archival images of the Algerian War of Independence, the Sétif massacre, and photographs taken by journalist Élie Kagan on the night of the Paris Massacre of 1961).
阿尔及利亚人被给予话语权，述说自身在法国的境遇。开头死去阿尔及利亚人名单、污名化北非移民的新闻报道交叠蒙太奇，与跑调的马赛曲形成鲜明对位。标题《阿里梦游仙境》直译为《阿里在奇幻之国》，而处于边缘位置的他们是否真的“生活在”这个欧洲国家呢？
