Fires of the Moon

About This Movie

Fires of the Moon, released in 2025, is an intriguing drama that takes you on a reflective journey. The film's atmosphere is haunting, created by the dim light of the train and the flickering memories that wash over the protagonist. The pacing has this almost hypnotic quality – it lingers in those moments of introspection. The themes of memory and trauma are woven through the narrative, heavy but not overwhelming. The performances are raw and genuine, capturing the emotional weight of the writer's past, particularly his mother’s struggles in the mental hospital. What stands out here is how the practical effects – simple yet effective – enhance the dreamlike quality of his recollections. It’s a film that sits with you long after the credits roll.
