action
"Rabbit's Moon" is a poetic story about the pantomime Pierrot , who longs for the proximity of the moon as well as the pretty Columbine , but both are inaccessible to him. Only when a "magic lamp" (symbol for the film medium) is discovered does the main character seem to have been saved from complete destruction.
background
The film lasts 7 minutes and is in color, with the color image being completely colored blue. The film is based on the mime and kabuki theater. The title refers to the Chinese belief that a rabbit (instead of a man) lives in the moon. The film's theme is: It Came in the Night by Andy Arthur . In 1972 and 1979 two other versions were created, each with different soundtracks. Starring: Claude Revenant (Harlequin), André Soubreyran (Pierrot), Nadine Valence (Columbine).
