Moonlight: PLOT
Going from childhood, to teenage hood, to adulthood, this winner of Best Picture at the Academy Awards follows an African-American man trying to understand himself and his sense of love in Miami’s poorer district – a hardskinned place that wants to predefine him.
“Moonlight is a film about masculinity, the wounds and crises of which are the same for all sexualities, but conditioned by the background weather of race and class. “I cry so much sometimes I might turn to drops,” confesses Chiron to Kevin, and, as for so many men, growing up for him is the search for ways to cauterise sadness, to anaesthetise it with rage. Moonlight finds a way to convert it into happiness” (Peter Bradshaw, Guardian 2017).
