    Louis Malle meets Lewis Carroll in this bizarre and bewitching trip down the rabbit hole. After skirting the horrors of a mysterious war being waged in the countryside, beautiful young Lily (Cathryn Harrison) takes refuge in a remote farmhouse, where she becomes embroiled in the surreal domestic life of an extremely unconventional family. Evocatively shot by cinematographer Sven Nykvist, Black Moon is a Freudian tale of adolescent sexuality set in a postapocalyptic world of shifting identities and talking animals. It is one of Malle’s most experimental films and a cinematic daydream like no other.

    Black Moon (1975) [The Criterion Collection #571]

    Oblique, opaque, enigmatic, dreamy, baffling, strange, Malle’s curious follow-up to Lacombe, Lucien (1974) – following an adolescent girl on an odyssey to nowhere in particular, upon which she encounters obese unicorns, talking rats and pigs, crying flowers, wild, naked waifs, and an elderly woman who feeds at the breast of her adult daughter – is as strangely and guiltily alluring as its teenaged protagonist, but what any of it means (if anything) is anyone’s guess.
    Iain Stott, The One-Line Review
    Black Moon (1975) [The Criterion Collection #571]

    A movie so magically bizarre I really wanted to like it and tried to find ways to approach it, unsuccessfully. Lily is trying to escape a world gone mad where men and women are literally at war with each other, brutally killing each other with tanks, fists and machine guns. She runs over a badger, finds herself in a strange house occupied by a strange, bedridden, whimsical mother who talks to a rat and a radio, a son and daughter, a talking unicorn, many naked children, and lots of sheep, chickens and insects. There's not much of a narrative, the rare dialogue is cryptic, and instead we get many bizarre or symbolic scenes of invisible attackers, Lily drinking milk from a huge glass, panties that keep falling down, breast-feeding the old mother, crying flowers, attacking an eagle with a sword, a series of loud alarm-clocks, etc. It's one thing to decipher or guess at the symbols, and quite another to derive any meaning and Louis Malle's intentions. It's too bizarre to be a fairy-tale or story, and just a bit too intent and consistent to be a dream. I think it's simply elements from Malle's dreams forced into an attempted fantasy narrative in an experiment which even he doesn't understand.

    Black Moon (1975) [The Criterion Collection #571]

    Based on an original story by Louis Malle and Joyce Bunuel (legendary director Luis Bunuel's daughter-in-law), Black Moon is a truly surreal film that is next to impossible to describe with simple words. It is broken into numerous bizarre episodes seemingly linked by the presence of a young girl who, like Alice, gets lost in a Wonderland populated by strange creatures.

    Black Moon (1975) [The Criterion Collection #571]

    The Wonderland, lensed by the great cinematographer Sven Nykvist (Ingmar Bergman's Persona, The Passion of Anna), is beautiful, dreamy. But it is a dangerous place, torn by violence and war, which the girl fears. This fear, which is felt throughout the entire film, becomes responsible for her vivid and intense dreams.

    Black Moon (1975) [The Criterion Collection #571]

    It is impossible to tell, however, where the dreams begin and end because they keep overlapping, suggesting that they might be part of something bigger, which the girl clearly does not understand. Naturally, this could be the reason why she keeps getting 'lost' and trying to befriend the strange creatures she meets – she needs someone to explain to her what is happening.

    Black Moon (1975) [The Criterion Collection #571]

    Whether director Malle intended for his film to be deconstructed in a way that gives some meaning to the girl's dreams – quite obviously, there is enough symbolism in them to at least try to do so – however, is difficult to tell. It is also difficult to decide whether the film is actually about the girl and her dreams, as part of what makes it so fascinating to behold is the fact that very little in it makes sense.
