It's cool and scary to be a kid.
by Jeremy_Urquhart2025-01-28
7/10

"Pity the fool who feels too tired to watch a full-length movie so they pick a short film thinking it'll be easier to digest, but they pick something very experimental (pity me; I'm the fool). The Moon is about a kid with a distorted face looking at/thinking about/being haunted - or hunted - by the moon. Also, the world around him distorts more and more as things go along, the moon appears behind doors, and the use of sound seems like it's supposed to be partly nostalgic and partly unsettling. I also kept thinking about the poster for Koyaanisqatsi with the moon on it. Not much..."
