Black Moon [Region 4]
Australia released, PAL/Region 4 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN (1.85:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, SYNOPSIS: Louis Malle doesn't bother telling us when fact ends and fancy begins in Black Moon -- which of course is part of the film's curious charm. Lily (Cathryn Harrison granddaughter of Rex) drives down a lonesome road, finding herself in a alternate world full of non sequiturs and bizarre characters. At times, this looks like a David Lynch film, what with an old woman conversing with a rat, a strange set of possibly incestuous siblings (one of whom is "underground" film star Joe Dallesandro), and several other warped set pieces. You want explanations? Go to another movie. Black Moon is French Nouvelle Vague at its vaguest. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Ceasar Awards, ...Black Moon ( Luna nera )
