Film Review -- Black Moon |
Cast
Cathryn Harrison (Lily)
Joe Dallesandro (The brother)
Alexandra Stewart (The sister)
Director
Louis Malle
(1975)
Black Moon is a unique film, constructed entirely out of archetypes that connect
as dream images connect (not in a linear, causal fashion, but through their
interior meanings). Louis Malle enjoyed breaking the rules of filmmaking (in
My Dinner with Andre he created a film almost without physical movement, only
dialogue; in Black Moon there is no dialogue whatsoever--only music, sounds,
and a feast of images). It flopped in the box office because people couldn't
figure it out. However, anyone who loves dreams and archetypes should love
this film. It is a great delight discovering the ideas so wordlessly embedded
in the interplay of images.
