Luna

Between a mother and son. Between the delicate boundaries of love.

• Luna touches on disco, toxic influences, lesbianism, and growing jealousies, becoming a lukewarm stew of Freudian interests and hysterics (though one expertly shot by Vittorio Storaro). Bertolucci believes he's making something profound, and perhaps he was at one point. The finished film doesn't secure a lasting impression beyond fatigue, as Luna asks for more than it gives, eventually landing on a stretch of poignancy and operatic release it doesn’t earn.
