Full Plot Details

Forty-something Quebeçois Philippe Roberge is floundering in his life. He believes that no one listens to him or takes him seriously. A graduate student in Philosophy of Scientific Culture, he has just failed his Ph.D. dissertation for the second time, his theory of interest in outer space being a narcissistic response from man being widely rejected throughout the community. To make ends meet, he works selling newspaper subscriptions. And he has a cordial but basically non-existent relationship with his ex-wife. Philippe examines his life in response to the recent death of his mother coupled with his dissertation beliefs. Although she lived in a care home, he acted as her primary caregiver. His only remaining family is his younger gay brother, André, the two who could not have more different temperaments. As such, they do not get along. Following his mother's death, Philippe's thoughts about his life are influenced by three major incidents: being invited to speak at a major conference in Russia by a cosmonaut who he idolizes, entering a contest on sending messages into outer space, and receiving information regarding the nature of his mother's death.

Movie Reviews

eye WEEKLY - 9/10 by Kim LinekinLepage's adaptation of his own stage play distills his typically grandiose ideas and visual quirks into a masterfully cohesive and entertaining film.
Globe and Mail - 8/10 by Rick GroenThe moon in Far Side of the Moon shows its smiling, symbolic face in the very first frame.
Jam! Movies - 7/10 by Bruce KirklandAs a film, this is Lepage's smoothest, richest, most complete effort.
Senses of Cinema - 6/10 by Dan SallittUnflagging in visual and verbal wit, and yet emotionally true to its protagonist's weltschmerz, [director Robert] Lapage's meditation on reconciling the banal and the essential calls to mind the work of Sacha Guitry.
Film Threat - 6/10 by Rory L. AronskyWhile the slow pace is a burden on some of what happens...,there is a beating pulse in "Far Side of the Moon." It's as wondrous as the imaginative tales we all read as kids.
Variety - 6/10 by Eddie CockrellLepage brings a prodigious talent for startling, interwoven imagery to bear on a story already laden with metaphorical possibilities.
San Francisco Chronicle - 5/10 by Walter V. AddiegoThe film may be best appreciated by those who've seen the stage version.
Chicago Tribune - 5/10 by Michael PhillipsLike many stage-to-screen projects "Moon" loses something in the journey from the planet Theater to the planet High-Def Video. Yet Lepage is such an interesting camera subject, you stick with this dreamy rumination even when the going gets arch.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 4/10 by Steven ReaFar Side of the Moon imbues the weightiest issues of human existence with a zero-gravity grace and charm.
User Review - 10/10 by Sébastien Lquand on pense que c'etait une piecede theatre, avant d'etre un film... wow
