2009

Moon offers a contemplative look at isolation and human connection, set against the backdrop of a lunar mining operation. Sam Rockwell's performance is both a masterclass in minimalist acting and a profound exploration of loneliness.

It challenges the viewer to consider the ethical implications of corporate space exploration and the potential for human augmentation. A thought-provoking addition to the canon of hard science fiction cinema.
