    Storyline

    • Goofs
      The title of the movie says that someone "bought" the Moon. However, in the actual movie, that character describes how he gained the ownership of the Moon by using it over a long period of time without anybody else objecting to it - this is known as "usucaption". Usucaption is a distinct way of gaining ownership over things that is in many ways the exact opposite of buying/purchase. Purchase is a contract in which one party transfers ownership over a thing to another party in exchange for money. This would imply that the Moon had a previous owner who voluntarily gave it away in exchange for money, which never happens in the actual movie.

    lovely at whole
    It has everything for seduce. Humor - in large nuances -, good performances and nice subject, fantastic realism and a story mixing traditions and irony about politics. And, sure, a fascinating subject, romantic, off course, defined in pure Italian style. So, just lovely.
