Sam Bell is very happy. After a three-year stay on the moon on behalf of the Lunar industries, with the task of managing the station that extracts a mineral capable of supplying clean energy each unit of the Earth, can return home to his family. The company is the single board computer Gerty, and the ability to communicate with his loved ones at home occasionally. Until things change ... suddenly discovers that there is another on the moon itself.
One of those little masterpieces that often the Sundance film festival can give to the world, giving them the reputation needed to find the market and dissemination needed. On one hand, this movie did not need any push ... because even if it cost very little (four million dollars), although the sci-fi psychological thriller has a fervent market, the name behind the project ensured the necessary curiosity. In many other Duncan Jones is not a stranger to an occasional group of people rather it is the son of the legendary David "Ziggy Stardust" Bowie. See if the heir was the height of the father figure, was something morbidly curious.
The young man decides to show his teeth, after a short and directed a few commercials, with a science fiction movie. Just exactly twenty years after the release of Space Oddity .
And he wins the jackpot!
small masterpiece which I hope will herald a prosperous career of similar products - if a higher budget it would not hurt. Vision mandatory for every fan of the genre.
A more surprising is the performance by Sam Rockwell, who should not play a single character, but two: Sam Bell and its duplicate! Often when you are on stage together, and must interact with each other. Something not seen since "Dead Ringers" to Cronemberg, when Jeremy Irons was to play the part of the twins gynecologists. Responsible for directing a sly, assisted by special effects and effective essential than ever. Very little computer graphics, while external to the moon are entrusted to the immense art of the Chinese model.
Paranoid schizophrenia without lead, "Moon" sa dose safely every item, giving a poignant story that shows the human side of every human being more fragile, making clear the biggest fears: What if we did not exist? If all that we experienced was just an illusion?
What then is the most suitable landscape of the moon? Semirraggiungibile mysterious and heavenly body that light from distant Earth, a simulacrum of life (or life) to which we may belong.
But "Moon" is also a story of friendship. The friendship of two overlapping, inner peace that comes with self acceptance. And also a story of struggle, because neither seems to accept the fate that seems to have been written for them (from the Lunar industries? From Sam same?)
irresistible character of computer Gerty, as originally voiced by Kevin Spacey, HAL clear homage to Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey."
