From the very first moment you are «Moonstruck». A glow like that of the cinematic projector on the screen as it is reflected in enthralled faces. And it changes lives. Norman Jewison's film, primarily with the responsibility of a dense, thoroughly worked script (one of the film's three Oscars) on how love, all alone, defeats the thought of death, and immediately afterwards, with a casting inspiration, takes you instantly into its world. It also transports you to its film era. When the romantic comedy - in its last days but without knowing it – seemed quintessential cinema directing a world in that bubble, urging on another logic of everyday life, sensual, operatic, glorifying of its people. An «irrational» logic that loves without exception, that nurtures and makes sure (conveniently of course, this is the way of the genre) that everyone is happy with their choices. Cher was a revelation, Cage an ascension of his own, Olympia Dukakis the magnificent performance of the film and the soul of its beliefs. Untreated in the glow of the moon, nightwalking in a romantic mentality lost (if not captured), we'll be back on the canvas again ahead, perhaps not to become the heroes of a fantasy again but to confirm that the child will be the last to go. Incurable by the moonstruck, nightwalking into a romantic mentality lost (if not ridiculous), we will gather again in front of the screen, perhaps not to become again heroes of a fantasy but to confirm that the child will be the last to go.
