Moon Garden is a dark and majestic fantasy film. Think of a modern-day rework of Alice in Wonderland, part Jeunet's City of Lost Children meets Winans' Ink, there's even a little Tetsuo in there. While this is obviously a low-budget affair, the craft is amazing, and the level of creativity matches it perfectly. The premise is simple but effective, and once the lead character gets trapped in the fantasy world it becomes a journey to remember. Moon Garden is a film tailored to my taste, a maximalist piece of wonder.
