    • Trivia
      The title "Mal di Pietre" (in Italian) / "Mal de Pierres" (in French) means "Evil Stones/Stone Pain/Stone Ache". In the context of the novel, it refers to the protagonist's kidney stones. While the English title, "From the Land of the Moon", comes from an excerpt of the novel: "Her whole life she had been told that she was like someone from the land of the moon..."
    • Goofs
      It's very unlikely that in 1950s France, Gabrielle would be diagnosed by a female doctor.

    Love Hurts!
    I absolutely loved this film, French films are masters at this type of art. The longing for love the unknown forbidden fruit. Not wanting it yet finding it out of the blue, again metaphorical substances, her pain is real, the stone in her body is real, not attention seeking as her mother would say. Just as painful as her yearning for love, to be loved, to give love, naive, curious... The parents strict in many ways we do not know as to what she went through as a young child, but it forms and shapes her womanhood. Her mind in turmoil, visions, fantasies that are alive as daylight. Twists and turns in the film that left me totally glued as to what is going on with this creature, this beauty, these consequences that are occurring all the time, her loveless marriage, her son... It's the passion of love, lasting a mere moment in a lifetime, and ending so abruptly. To reconcile with herself, in the end finding who she is, finding her inner peace...she is in reality a part of most of mankind.
