Empire of the Moon is a fascinating dive into the peculiarities of tourism, where the black-and-white visuals of Paris create an almost dreamlike atmosphere. It’s not just about the sights; it’s the behavior of tourists, the ritual of snapping the same photos, that becomes the focus. You can feel the weight of history, and yet there's a lightness, almost a comedy, in how people navigate these iconic sites. The pacing is contemplative, allowing the viewer to really absorb the moments, and there's a certain wry humor that runs through it all. It captures that blend of sublime and mundane beautifully, making you reflect on your own experiences as a traveler.
