Moon Garden

Every now and then, a new film surprises you with something that should always be true: movie-making is magic-making. Especially so when its tricks happen in-camera, with instruments as practical as lighting, costumes, sets, and ideas.

Who Is Lun*na Menoh - Meta-Documentary Sacrifices Clarity For Self-Referentiality

Beginning with its titular question before falling down the rabbit-hole of meta-textual references, "Who is Lun*na Menoh?" works well as a primer for the Japanese-born conceptual artist, fashion designer, and musician. Adopting a triptych structure—which first establishes a portrait of Menoh before deconstructing the very nature of documentary—Jeff Mizushima’s film is, in the end, more about the nature of filmmaking, and the blurring of reality and fiction, then about the singular artist.
