Black Moon (Louis Malle, 1975)



Black Moon (Louis Malle, 1975)
Rating: 6.9

Black Moon is appropriately tagged as an apocalyptic Alice in Wonderland. The first fifteen minutes grabbed my attention without any use of dialogue including images of a badger? getting hit by a car, a unicorn, and the images of men at war against women. Unfortunately the movie becomes stagnant upon entering the home of a decrepit old woman and never quite managed to regain the excitement and awe established in the opening minutes.
