The distance from the moon - Italo Calvino

[NLSJ]

I remember the music from a game I played once about a coup in Iran Is it some kind of popular song in the middle east?

[gudrunbrangwen1]

Absolutely beautiful! The magic of Calvino's words put into images! I am thrilled.

Shalom!

really nice short film; it does Cosmicomics justice. i've featured your animation in a blog post of mine about Calvino more generally: eukaryography @ wordpress (distance-of-the-moon)

[maestralidia]

é veramente un lavoro meraviglioso, grazie shulamits

[prattals]

what is the song that played throughout the video?

[maurosgatos]

@prattals It's Eric Satie's Gnosienne no 1... too bad n nobody replied that for a whole year! And too bad the creator of the video didn't care to mention it himself.

If only I could understand hebrew

Congratulations!

This is so beautiful. I had a much more comical read of the story and you've helped me grasp the longing and loneliness aspects of it. Thank you!

[Da5thProject]

I appreciate this so much, i have an essay due and watching this made the comprehensive part so much easier and time saving. I wish you did the entire book

[Ditlinda]

Amazing work! Congratulations!

[derritrane]

Beautiful realisation!

Read the story years ago. I think the the Satie piece was used in Peter Sellars' film, "Being There", as well, along with the 5th gnossiene. Highly evocative.

[uuaschbaer]

Beautiful. I felt I missed the love triangle of the story a bit but the animation was, qua animation, enchanting.

Calvino is one of my favourite writer, and I've been really delighted about the work that you've made. You've chosen a really wonderful way of transposing the novel on screen. Great short movie, really.

What's the piano piece? Is it Satie? I've heard it but I can remember where...

[maurosgatos]

@Jamaghost  yes it's Satie's Gnosienne no 1... too bad nobody replied that to you for a whole year! And too bad the creator of the video didn't care to mention it himself.

[Jamaghost]

@maurosgatos ehehe not so bad...after a year I came book to this video and it was again a wonderful surprise! Thank you anyway for your (very useful) answer!

[AEduardoH2]

Beatiful!!! One of the bestest shortfilem I've seen.

[AEduardoH2]
