Desert Moon (2001 film)

Desert Moon , Tsuki no Sabaku? is a 2001 Japanese drama film written, directed and edited by Shinji Aoyama, starring Hiroshi Mikami. It was in competition at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival.

Derek Malcolm of Screen International criticized the film, saying the problem with the film is that, instead of letting these sequences speak for themselves, it constantly underscores them with speeches that often seem pretentious and clichd at the same time. David Rooney of Variety praised Masaki Tamuras cinematography, describing it as graceful, leisurely camerawork and elegant framing.
