Coming of the Moon

About This Movie

So, 'Coming of the Moon' is this interesting little gem from 1988, with a romance that feels almost wistful. Katya, a gymnast, finds herself back in her hometown, which is almost like a character itself—there's this palpable nostalgia in the air. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing moments to breathe, especially those between Katya and the singing teacher. Their chemistry isn’t explosive, but it's subtle and sweet, which gives it a unique charm. It captures that bittersweet essence of fleeting connections beautifully. The performances are earnest, not overly dramatic, which lets the quiet moments resonate. Plus, the practical effects, though minimal, add a nice touch to the overall aesthetic, making it stand out in an era of more flashy productions.
