Black Moon is not for everyone and thank goodness for that. Those who follow Malle know what to expect in his films in terms of the surreal and those who enjoy this sort of film should perhaps not gnash their teeth over its non-Hollywood approach to film-making.

It's ashame one has to go back to the mid-70's to find this kind of film amidst the blockbuster generation of "films" coming out of Hollywood. The film is effective in generating a frightening dreamlike environment in which no one knows what to expect. More like life than not. This rarely seen film is well worth viewing if you can find it. I happened to catch most of it on satellite recently and it was great to see the quality of Eastman color film and how well it is holding up in our digitally defined era. I especially enjoyed the tension created during the piano segment.
