IT’S THE EARTH NOT THE MOON
July 17th, 2012
IT’S THE EARTH NOT THE MOON- 2012. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “A cameraman and a soundman arrive in Corvo in 2007, the smallest island in the archipelago of the Azores. Right in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, Corvo is a large rock, 6km high and 4km long, with the crater of a volcano and a single tiny village of 440 people. Gradually, this small filming crew is accepted by the island’s population as its new inhabitants, two people to add to a civilization almost 500 years old, whose history is hardly discernible, such is the lack of records and written memories. Shot at a vertiginous pace throughout a few years, self?produced between arrivals, departures and coming?backs, It’s the Earth not the Moon develops as the logbook of a ship, and turns out as a patchwork of discoveries and experiences, which follow the contemporary life of a civilization isolated in the middle of the sea.”
7/14/12- Mostly very good reviews and an OK one in today’s NY Times. TRDB.
