A young woman is driving her car. Suddenly she becomes aware there is some kind of war going on. She escapes to a house and finds a strange old lady that talks to rats and the rats talk back. She finds a man and a woman who are mute and are both called Lilly. She meets a bitter, cynical talking black unicorn. And those are just the things that can be explained.
"Black Moon" is a movie directed by French auteur Louis Malle (Au Revoir Les Enfants). It is his take on "Alice in Wonderland". This is a strange, surreal film that is truly impossible to describe. It's the kind of movie for people who like "Eraserhead". I watched it sober and liked it. I cannot imagine how it must be like to enjoy this movie in an altered state of mind.
It never got a major US release or a DVD release and you can see why. It is showing on Showtime, the best channel on cable when it comes to bizarre, offbeat movies. Check it out.
