The Real Man in the Moon

There are more than one way you can look into this strange little Danish film production. You could look at it as an Hommage - both celebrating the 3 minute Quicky the way they used to do it back then, and also celebrating one of the pioneers of film making, Georges Méliès, considered one of the fathers of narrative film-storytelling. But if you are really into it you could also choose to look at this as a European comment on the world of art and our ongoing competition with the Americans. Shot in one day, and edited in another during the summer of 1993 in the Boulogne forest in the center of Copenhagen, the film premiered at the Odense Film Festival in August and stirred up a tremendous response by the audience. Very suprisingly, as many Danes do not understand French and therefore did not understand any of the film's dialogue. Well, as you guessed - it's in French.
