What Do You Know About the Water and the Moon

About This Movie

What Do You Know About the Water and the Moon is quite an oddity in the fantasy genre. The film dives deep into unsettling territory, opening with a young girl, Yang, going through a profoundly emotional and surreal experience. The imagery of a live jellyfish emerging during such a moment is really something else—striking, yet bizarre. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the viewer to soak in the strange atmosphere and ponder the themes of life, loss, and transformation. The practical effects used for the jellyfish are surprisingly well done, grounding the supernatural elements in a gritty reality. Performances are raw and evoke a sense of vulnerability, making it distinct in its approach to such a delicate subject matter. It’s definitely not your typical fantasy film.
