''Black Moon'' is a 1975 French-West German avant-garde film directed by Louis Malle and starring Cathryn Harrison, Joe Dallesandro, Therese Giehse, and Alexandra Stewart. Shown at the 1975 New York Film Festival, it was distributed in the United States by 20th Century Fox. Despite the film's location in France the film's dialogue is in English. The surreal ''mise en scene'' centers on Lily, a confused teenager (Cathryn Harrison) who witnesses a war between the sexes and finds herself involved in numerous dream-like situations at a country estate. An underlying subtext offers a commentary on the Women's Movement of the 1970s. The film is dedicated to Therese Giehse, who plays the character of The Old Lady, who died shortly after the end of the film. Malle himself has said about this film: "Opaque, sometimes clumsy, it is the most intimate of my films. I see it as a strange voyage to the limits of the medium, or maybe my own limits."〔Stafford, Jeff. ("Black Moon (1975)" ) on TCM.com〕 ==Plot== The world is embroiled in a war between men and women, and to escape it Lily (Cathryn Harrison) retreats into fantasy world on a country estate in which a number of surreal and unusual events take place. Naked children are used to round up pigs and sheep. On the estate are three people, a man, Brother Lily (Joe Dallesandro), tending to the upkeep of the grounds. He does not speak but somehow communicates through touch. His sister, Sister Lily (Alexandra Stewart). also helps on the estate with rounding up sheep. The Old Lady (Therese Giehse) is a demanding bedridden woman who communicates with a large rat, and also operates a ham radio next to her bed. When she is hungry, she seeks milk and is breastfed by Sister Lily, and later by Lily. Lily pursues a unicorn around the estate. It later turns up in the Old Lady's room, and Lily prepares to breastfeed it. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Black Moon (1975 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
