Moonlight (2016) Directed by Barry Jenkins
“My name is Chiron. People call me Little”.
Nominated for eight Oscars at the 2017 Awards Ceremony, Moonlight triumphed in three major categories: Best Motion Picture of the Year, Best Adapted Screenplay for Jenkins’ screenplay based on Tarell Alvin McCraney’s original semi autobiographical story, and Mahershala Ali for his superb performance as an Actor in a Supporting Role. A triptych film in three very distinctive Acts covering the shy, angst ridden growing up of our main protagonist Chiron, Moonlight is clearly a deeply personal film for both the Director and the Author of the original source material and summed up brilliantly by Jenkins in February 2017:
“Moonlight playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney and I are this kid. We are Chiron. And you don’t think that kid grows up to be nominated for eight Academy Awards. It’s not a dream he’s allowed to have. I still feel that way. I didn’t think this was possible. But now I look at other people looking at me and if I didn’t think it was possible, how are they going to? But now it’s happened. So what I think of possibility, let’s take it off the table. The thing has happened”.
