The White Moon

About This Movie

The White Moon is a fascinating piece of work, really. Directed by Cloud Yang, it showcases an original ink painted animation style that feels almost like you're stepping into a watercolor painting. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the rich visuals and the dream-like atmosphere it creates. There’s this ethereal quality to the narratives, as it explores themes of solitude and yearning, wrapped in a poetic language that's reflected in the animation itself. Wolf Smoke Studio in Shanghai has a unique approach; the practical effects they employ are intriguing, making each frame look alive, almost breathing. It's definitely distinctive in its execution, a blend of artistic expression and storytelling that calls for a contemplative viewing experience.
