What is Black Moon about?
There is a global civil war between men and women. A teenage girl tries to escape this reality and arrives at a hidden place where a strange unicorn lives with a family: sister, brother, many children and an old, bedridden woman who stays in contact with the world through her radio.
Black Moon is a 1975 Franco-German experimental fantasy horror film directed by Louis Malle and starring Cathryn Harrison, Joe Dallesandro, Therese Giehse and Alexandra Stewart. Though produced in France, its dialogue is in both French and English. It is dedicated to Giehse, who died shortly after shooting had completed.
