The Little Moon

About This Movie

So, 'The Little Moon' is this hauntingly beautiful documentary that draws you into the life of a girl in a remote Lithuanian village. The cinematography? Just stunning. It captures the vastness of the wheat fields and the quiet intimacy of her world. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really soak in the atmosphere—there's this almost meditative quality to it. It's based on a poem by Tonino Guerra, which adds a layer of poetic resonance. The girl's nightly walks with a bucket of water to mirror the moon feels almost like a ritual. It’s reflective of innocence and solitude, and the way it juxtaposes nature with human experience is quite striking. Definitely something different.

Documentary style focuses on a single subject · Deliberate pacing enhances the atmosphere · Cinematography captures rural beauty
