Oh, Moon!: A Cinema of Light, Shadow, and Memory

Originally released in 1989, the film has become one of the most distinctive works of Turkish cinema, reconstructing a sense of time that feels both mythological and deeply personal. In its restored form, the black-and-white contrasts seem to reveal layers of memory — drawing the audience into a dream suspended somewhere between earth and sky.

Now included in MUBI’s curated selection, Oh, Moon! emerges not merely as a film, but as a meditation on light and darkness, solitude and remembrance.
Good People of vitruta had the chance to witness this moment — alongside Reha Erdem and the cast — where cinema once again became an act of collective memory.
