Favourites of the Moon

An absurdist comedy with intertwining story lines played out over several time frames, all linked by an 18th century chinaware set and a 19th century portrait. Iosselliani, one of the most criminally overlooked filmmakers nowadays, has constructed an intricate and surreal episodic Rubik's cube.

Synopsis

Jewelry, porcelain, paintings... all lovingly created, then sold, given as gifts, destroyed, stolen, resold. Both good and bad deeds pass them from hand to hand; others link people together. The objects fly about and feelings do too.
