Blue Moon A film by Andrea Maria Dusl, Austria 2002 (in German with English subtitles, 91 min.) When Johnny Pichler turns his back on the safety of Western Europe and ventures into the far reaches of Eastern Europe, he is following the summons of love. Shirley frequents hotel rooms in search of her future. Jana, a taxi driver in the Ukrainian city of Lviv, is held hostage by her own past and hopes to deal with it by minding a herd of sheep and a host of secrets. Small-time crook Ignaz, floundering helplessly in the bewildering post-communist world, has only money on his mind. On the run from the snares of intimacy, they all embark on an odyssey of emotions until the Blue Moon rises over distant Odessa.
