The Insatiable Moon: DVD Review
The Insatiable Moon
Rating:M
Released by Vendetta
Shot on a
shoestring budget when the Film Commission passed, The Insatiable is the story
of Arthur (a tremendous powerhouse performance from Rawiri Paratene) who
believes he's the second son of God and who frequents a halfway house run by
Greg Johnson's Bob in Auckland's suburb of Ponsonby.
However, Arthur's life becomes permanently intertwined with Sara
Wiseman's social worker at a time when the boarding house is threatened with
closure.
With residents galvanized into trying to save their home
from those who've got closed minds, the clock begins to tick - and Arthur starts
to unravel.
The Insatiable Moon is a story of
heart and compassion, populated with some truly brilliant and crowd pleasing
performances from the central cast.
It's got
audience pleasing moments throughout as well as some laughs but it's Paratene's
impishness and charm which sees this film from beginning to end; with big eyes
and a disarming grin, he's the heart and soul of the Insatiable Moon - and
manages to bind the whole thing together.
Extras:
Trailer, Interviews, outtakes and deleted scenes
Rating: 7/10
