Since time immemorial, the moon has been apostrophized in poetry. But no less authoritatively has the seventh art-form Cinema captured our neighbouring luminary’s mystery. The Irish filmmaker Tadhg O’Sullivan has scoured the world film archives right back to the silent period to come up with a combination of sequences shot under moonlight that electrify the viewer with their captivating beauty. All the moods are there: wonder, romance, melancholy and finally (of course) horror, woven together by a marvellous verbal and musical soundtrack. Simple in conception and yet so rich and nuanced in execution, TO THE MOON is an example of the poetic essay film at its finest.
