10/08/2019 Painfully boring for most of the film, some segments are painful to watch. There is no sense of time scaling and as such the audience can only assume it's been months as every bloody night seems to have a full moon. Just don't put yourself through it. See more 04/09/2015 A brillant film with lovely and charming songs, It's almost like PK was born to play the role. See more 04/25/2012 One Night The Moon is a unique experimental musical film starring Paul Kelly and his wife Kaaren Fairfax. They live on a remote farm in outback Australia when one night their young daughter climbs out the window and follows the moon. The film then follows the search party as they desperately fight against time to find her. The story is told through song in a very powerful and emotive way. The sense of loss is huge and the film also deals with black & white relation issues as the farmer and his wife reject the help of an experienced aboriginal tracker. This was produced by an arts experiment production company called 'MusicArtsDanceFilms' who also produced The Widower (see review in this group). Their films are generally short and One Night The Moon has a lean 50 minute running time. It's shot beautifully with scrupulous detail given to the environment and the landscapes are captured gorgeously in widescreen. The songs are great and the film is overall immersive. Well worth seeking. See more 09/02/2008 A really haunting and thought-provoking film. I loved that it was set in the Flinders Ranges in SA., and that there was lots of singing by Paul Kelly and Ruby Hunter and others. It's kind of a mournful, outback musical stage-play type film. I cried. See more 08/15/2008 'This land is mine/This land is me.' Says it all. Beautiful story and soundtrack. See more 04/12/2008 Fantastic - a musical drama where the half the narrative is song. excellent cinematography, great music, simple compelling story, makes you think, and may leave you a little uncomfortable - Rednecks and racists wil hate it.l See more Read all reviews
