A quixotic andimagical modern fable about discovering life, liberty anditheipursuit of lawn ornaments.
Meet Al Fountain (JOHN TURTURRO), electrical engineer. Too punctual. Too precise. Too routine. But propelled by peculiar hallucinations and the discovery of his first gray hair, Al realizes that something's not quite right. Compelled to revisit the sight of a happy childhood memory, his journey leads him to an encounter with Kid (SAM ROCKWELL), a self-styled woodsman in a Davy Crockett outfit. Kid is everything Al is not. Free-spirited and eccentric. Like oil and water, Kid's loose-limbed way of life is completely at odds with Al's rigid sense of order.
Little by little, the endearing Kid strikes a cord with Al that resonates to the very base of his soul. Kid unknowingly teaches Al how to lift the lid off the box he's built around himself.

INTO THE WOODS - 4 out of 5 (7/13/1999)
Written and directed by Tom DiCillo, BOX OF MOONLIGHT relates a simple story. An engineer, Al Fountain, played by John Turturro, will take a new start in his life after having spent 5 days in the company of Sam "The Kid" Rockwell. Of course, the main interest of the movie doesn't lie in the decription of the numerous adventures that John Turturro will live with his new friend but in the manner Tom DiCillo has treated this idea or, rather, this cliché.
Since the Middle Ages, the forest is one

Wonderfully poetic - 4.25 out of 5 (1/11/1999)
The kind of film that makes you feel good. And this feeling is definitely worth the price.
