Description
directed by Duncan Jones (UK, 2009) 97 minutes
Moon constitutes a truly amazing achievement in independent filmmaking; director Duncan Jones crafts the engaging story of a man whose mind begins to slip away as he finishes a 3-year term as the solo operator of a mining station on the surface of the moon. It goes beyond his mental state though, dealing with layer upon layer of interesting themes, including self-perception, corporate responsibility and genetic manipulation. This film is a must-see for anyone who loves a clever bit of sci-fi. Moon premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, won the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form and two British Independent Film Awards including Best British Independent Film (BIFA) winner of the 2009 award for the Best British Independent Film. It was nominated for the Saturn Awards for Best Science Fiction Film and Best Actor for its protagonist Sam Rockwell.
