月八日记

"The Diary of the Eighth of the Moon" is a drama film directed by Portuguese directors Miguel Gomez and Maureen Fasendello and will be released in 2021. The film takes the hot summer season as the background, full of desire and psychedelic light and shadow interweaving, showing the three main characters dancing to their heart's content under the guidance of music, but a passionate kiss breaks the original balance. The film's unique narrative technique is impressive: time goes backwards in the film, and the audience is brought back to the moment when the three built a garden greenhouse for butterflies, back to the intimacy and ambiguity intertwined in their lazy daily life. However, what was even more unexpected was that the film suddenly showed the scene of the epidemic raging in the real world. It turned out that everything before was just the isolation scene during filming.

The film interweaves film and life through creative techniques, conveying a unique interpretation of the relationship between film and life. In this film, directors Miguel Gomez and Maureen Fasendello invited veteran actors to participate in the filming, expressing optimism in times of disaster in a light way. In addition to the drama before the filming, there are also the chatter of the crew members, and the new life under the epidemic prevention restrictions. This way of shooting against time is not only a deconstruction of the relationship between movies and life, but also a spiritual exploration of the filming scene.

"The Diary of the Eighth of the Moon" shows us that movies don't just happen on the screen, it blends into the wonderful present where everyone connects to each other. The wrestling and integration between art and reality of the three protagonists presented in the film deeply touched the hearts of the audience. This film is not only a creative film, but also a profound reflection on the meaning of life.

The images and music in the film complement each other to create a dreamlike atmosphere. Actors such as Christa Fayat, Carlito Corta and João Nunes have excellent performances, making the film's emotions more real and appropriate. The director's ingenious conception and excellent lens use add to the artistic sense of the film.
