Ill Met By Moonlight-The Classic Story of Wartime Daring

Product Information

From then on, the novel embarks in a grand excursion through Italy, with the most extraordinary characters, from a Franciscan monk and a Persian opium dealer, to an Italian fortune teller (in the christening of a bambino) and an American tourist that regrets having trusted a French man about a supposed Da Vinci painting, in the charming little town of Forigno. I’m reminded of another Hungarian author’s novel, Sandor Marai’s The Rebels, which would have been written about the same time also in Budapest. In that novel I thought the play acting and dressing-out of the four boys in that story was simply over-the-top, but perhaps that was a fad at the time in Budapest. Marai’s book was published in 1930; Szerb’s in 1937.)

Made me grow appreciative of Teresa and Juan that more. And like the brilliant Mahershala Ali, who plays Juan in the film, said best about his character:

A mutual friend in Miami passed along a copy of McCraney's play a few years ago, knowing Jenkins would be interested. When he read it, he thought its tripartite structure offered "a new way of looking at the dynamics of a relationship, of fate and possibility." He'd wanted to make a film in three parts. Well, I've never actually run across anything in Europe that resembles this very blanket judgement...until now! With the exception of the constant rain, this novel from 1937 contains EVERYTHING Americans at that time believed European literature is. And they were right about one thing: it's horrible and horribly boring. The film's poster reflects its triptych structure, combining the three actors portraying Chiron into a single face.

Brian Formo of Collider gave Moonlight an 'A−' grade rating, applauding the performances and direction but contending that the film "is more personal and important than it is great".

Their filmmaking style developed after they met in college at Florida State University. “I started talking about this movie 17 years ago when I first met Barry,” Laxton tells TIME. “We didn’t talk about Moonlight of course, but I think on some level those conversations about what it is to be a filmmaker, who our voices are as filmmakers. Those conversations started when we were in our early 20s in college. And that’s still true today.” Robinson, Tasha (September 15, 2016). "Moonlight is a beautifully nuanced gay coming-of-age tale".

Our complicated protagonist, Mihály, is a successful newlywed who, tired of attempting to conform to what's expected of him, finally rejects society's expectations to go off on a personal journey of his own. In the process, he battles the demons of his past, the inner urge for annihilation, and his nostalgic nature.
