Member Rating:  
In Louis Malle's apocalyptic fantasy Black Moon, Lily (Cathryn Harrison, granddaughter of Rex) drives down a lonesome road, and soon finds 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 pack of naked children chasing a pig, a talking unicorn, a strange set of possibly incestuous siblings (one of whom is "underground" film star Joe Dallesandro), and several other warped set pieces. Malle reportedly culled inspiration for the narrative of this film from his own dreams. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    I just wanted to review this just so we can all ask Mitchell B. to stop his reviews. Your attempt on being ironic failed.

    What did I just watch? One of the strangest movie I've ever seen. The dude who made this must have been high as a kite. Is anything real or just in the girl's mind? Feeding time for the old lady sure is interesting. A must see just for the sheer strangeness of it.
