Rabbit’s Moon is a fable of the unattainable (the moon) and combines elements of commedia dell’arte with Japanese myth. Originally shot in 1950 using black and white film, it was stored at the Cinémathèque Française for 20 years before Anger re-edited the footage and soundtrack in 1970 and printed the film through a blue filter.
