It’s a pretty confusing, hard-to-wrap-your-head-around flick. I might try watching it again someday, but honestly, hoping I don't end up with a massive headache this time around. 😁
I mean, sure, the movie is technically unfinished—they swapped out the missing footage for shots of Warsaw paired with the director's narration—but I doubt having the actual scenes would have made things any clearer. 😁


One of my all-time favorites.

You can make sense of certain bits of what Zulawski was aiming for, but the whole thing? No way. There’s zero point in trying to overanalyze it. "Moonlight in Silver" isn't just a movie; it's a state of mind.
You just gotta let it wash over you.

If memory serves, it stayed unfinished because the government thought Zulawski was plotting something against them, so right as he was finishing up, they shut production down and trashed all the raw footage.

That didn't quite stick, though, so about ten years later he finished it by using voiceovers over those clips of Warsaw.

Anyway, I usually recommend checking out Zulawski, even if it's not the SF stuff. He's killer in "Diabel," "treći dio noć," "l important C est aimer," "My Nights Are More Beautiful Than Your Days"...

I’ve checked out a couple of his
They’re alright, I guess.
But honestly, he’s still a step behind Diabel.
