Trivia:
Although previous versions had popular doo-wop songs on the soundtrack, for the seven-minute, 1979 version of this film, Anger decided to use the catchy but hyper-obscure 1976 song "It Came in the Night" by the UK band A Raincoat. The song was released as a single only and is not on the only A Raincoat album "Digalongamacs". It was written by band leader Andy Arthurs and was used in the film without his knowledge or permission. more

Unattainable, 4 March 2004

I love it! The music is wonderful. The symbolism and characters are awesome.

The story is about Pierrot trying to obtain the unattainable, the moon. He struggles to bring it to him but cannot. Harlequin appears to entertain Pierrot (sword play, juggling, and dance). Pierrot is distraught, so Harlequin summons his girlfriend, Columbine to help assess the situation. Columbine is a showy babe, Pierrot knows. She's useless as for getting the moon for Pierrot. Tired from a hard night's work and mishap, Pierrot gives up. All that in 7 minutes! It's pretty neat for that era of film.
