Moonlight by the Sea (2003)
Weird take on the sci fi genre
This is hardly the worst film ever. More like a failed experiment, but this makes it all the more interesting. While I don't know the director I did talk to him a bit at a screening of the film several years ago. Seemed like a nice guy, but yet seemed strange that the film we watched came from this guy. There is a darkness that consumes just about every interlaced frame in it's 92 min, but at the same time, a weird almost camp feel. Maudlin maybe? How did this film come out of that guy? The big brother ideas in it are a little puerile but nevertheless executed flawlessly for a zero budget film. Incredible cinematography, gorgeous Black and white landscapes. I'd recommend this film to anyone interested in talking through a film as it's playing. The ideas in this are so dense at times it's almost as if you should just listen to the commentary or interact with it somehow and join in the conversation.
