About This Movie

Superluna offers a raw and poignant glimpse into the aftermath of the Amatrice earthquake, seen through the eyes of a child, which gives it a unique perspective. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to absorb the fragility of life and the resilience of community amidst catastrophe. The practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing the authenticity of the tent city setting. Performances feel genuine; the nuances in the child’s expressions convey both innocence and a sobering understanding of loss. There's a dreamlike quality to some scenes that contrasts sharply with the harsh realities the survivors face, creating a haunting atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll. It’s distinctively grounded, both intimate and expansive in its themes of survival and hope.
