Show notes

French month continues with a look at Louis Malle's Black Moon (1975). The film tells the story of Lily (Cathryn Harrison), a girl on the brink of womanhood who's on the run from a war between men and women. She takes refuge in a country estate populated by a strange old women (Therese Giehse), Brother Lily (Joe Dallesandro) and Sister Lily (Alexandra Stewart). She makes the flowers scream and antagonizes a unicorn in this surrealistic tale.

Kat Ellinger (opens in a new tab) and Aaron Peterson (opens in a new tab) join Mike to discuss the film while Professor Hugo Frey (opens in a new tab) talks about Louis Malle.
