Black Moon

In an uncertain future, the girl Lily is driving in the wild, and a cruel war between the sexes seems to be going on. In order to avoid the encirclement and attack of the men, Lily abandoned the car and fled, walking deeper into the wild. She walked through the desolate wilderness and came to a strange huge house. The owner of the house is an old woman who can talk to animals, and Lily can actually understand animals. There is also a mysterious unicorn in the house. Lily encounters an incestuous brother and sister outside the house, and later sows and plays with a group of naked children. The war is getting closer and closer, and everyone is chasing it like a carnival. In the big house, a big eagle that seemed to fly out of a painting harassed several people with fear and mystery, and was finally hacked to death by the brother and sister with a sword. The old woman finally died and Lily offered her breasts to the unicorn. This is a mystical film with an unclear meaning, as if it is describing a story that happened in another world. This kind of film creation method comes from the "automatic writing" of Surrealism, just like when Buñuel and Dali created "A Dog Called Andalou". Although Mahler regarded the creation process of this film as a happy memory, he could hardly call it his "masterpiece". Similarly, film critics from all walks of life also expressed their disapproval of this difficult film.
