Captain Bartleby Loves the Moon

About This Movie

So, 'Captain Bartleby Loves the Moon' is quite the quirky little film. You know how some movies just have an atmosphere that's hard to pin down? This one has that in spades. The story revolves around a boat captain with a peculiar obsession for the moon and a penchant for flying fish. The practical effects really stand out, especially the whimsical depictions of watermelons and ham that add a surreal charm to the narrative. It's not fast-paced, rather it meanders like a lazy summer afternoon, allowing you to soak in the oddball themes of love and longing. Performances are refreshingly earnest, which contributes to the film's unique tone. It’s a bit of a treasure for those who appreciate the offbeat.

This film is still somewhat elusive in the collector circuit. As of now, it’s available primarily on limited release formats, adding to its appeal for those who enjoy seeking out lesser-known titles. There’s a growing interest among collectors who appreciate its unique storytelling and practical effects. However, I wouldn't be surprised if copies become harder to find as it gains more attention, so keep an eye out.
