‘99 Moons’ Review: On-Again, Off-Again

Instead of an engaging erotic romance, the film delivers a dull narrative of two lovers caught in a cycle of getting together and falling apart.

• Share full article

By Claire Shaffer

Good erotic films are built on an atmosphere of tension. Maybe it’s repressed desire, or a ticking clock imposed on an affair by external forces, or two people with fundamentally different identities coming together against all odds. Jan Gassmann’s “99 Moons” shoots for all three, and yet the tension hangs limply throughout its nearly two-hour running time.

The Swiss film, opening in theaters Friday, stars Valentina Di Pace and Dominik Fellmann as Bigna and Frank, characters representing opposites on a spectrum of sexual agency. Bigna, a young scientist trying to advance in her profession by planning a research study in Chile, is controlling to a fault, hooking up with anonymous men in masks to fulfill an elaborate sexual fantasy that the viewer is thrown into during the opening scene. Frank, a loner, weaves his way through hazy nightclubs in search of something that Gassmann never quite articulates. The two meet up through one of Bigna’s contrived escapades, after which Frank immediately bursts into tears. Bigna is confused, and so are we.

What follows is a dull, “When Harry Met Sally”-style narrative in which the protagonists pursue each other, get together, and break up over bizarre misunderstandings, before the film jumps forward in time and the cycle repeats itself. (The film’s title comes from this structure; their time apart is measured pretentiously in “moons.”) Gassmann clearly wants to explore the state of love and sexuality in the 2020s — there are more than a few passing parallels to Joachim Trier’s “ The Worst Person in the World ” — but he succeeds only in conveying the pathologies of two people who can’t figure out what they want from each other.

99 Moons Not rated. In German, with subtitles. Running time: 1 hour 50 minutes. In theaters.

‘99 Moons’: Cannes Review

By Amber Wilkinson 2022-05-20T11:20:00+01:00

A frank, erotically charged portait of two lovers plays out in Cannes’ ACID programme

Source: Zodiac Pictures / Yunus Roy Imer

Dir/scr: Jan Gassmann. Switzerland. 2022. 110 mins.

The repeated waxing and waning of a couple’s relationship across several years is captured in Jan Gassmann’s erotically charged drama, which is as much about control and desire as it is about that little thing called love. There is an impressive frankness and unpredictability to the sexual encounters that pepper the film but putting such an emphasis on the physical over the conversational leads the structure to feel repetitive after a while. Given the erotic nature of much of the content, 99 Moons is most likely to find future play with open-minded festivals after its world premiere in the Association for the Diffusion of Independent Cinema (ACID) showcase at Cannes.

Gassmann is much more interested in body language than the spoken word.

Tsunami expert Bigna (Valentina Di Pace) certainly has no interest in finding ’the one’, choosing one-time role-play hook-ups with men who arrive wearing Jason Voorhees-style hockey masks. As we first meet her, the encounter could initially be mistaken for assault, although Gassmann quickly subverts classical gender roles in a stance that is maintained throughout. Something about Bigna’s latest encounter with Frank (Dominik Fellmann) is not quite the same though – and the pair could not be more different. She, apparently, is most at home with her computer in the more sterile environment of her workspace, while he leads a cluttered life as a gregarious party animal. Her initial decision to block his calls doesn’t last long, however, and by the time we catch up with them ’nine moons’ later, it is clear they are a couple, at least after a fashion.

“We could be more than this,” Frank tells her, while she counters: “You’re confusing sex with love.” This debate lies at the heart of the rest of the film, which – as other relationships come and go – suggests the power of desire can act as a wrecking ball just as easily as a magnet. Di Pace and Fellmann came to their roles as amateur actors rather than professionals, a brave move from their perspective given the large number of sex scenes involved. They acquit themselves well in terms of chemistry but they aren’t called upon for much when it comes to dialogue as Gassmann is much more interested in body language than the spoken word. This is one of the frustrations of a film that repeatedly hints at deeper waters regarding sexual fidelity, gender roles in modern society and monogamy, dipping its toe into these ideas while refusing to take the full intellectual plunge.

The director has previously considered the ins and outs of modern relationships in documentary Europe, She Loves , but within his fictional world it feels as though little is left to chance. Despite the film’s generally loose plotting, people just happen to bump into one another with immaculate timing or show up on the doorstep at the perfect moment, while even thunder and earthquakes seem to arrive right on cue.

By making his characters so apparently self-centred in terms of their desires, Gassmann, conversely, makes them less attractive to us. The sex scenes too, shot by cinematographer Yunus Roy Imer with an emphasis on the erotic rather than the pornographic, begin to feel on the boring side without more underlying drama to support them. While Gassmann captures the energy of a younger generation in which traditional ideas around relationships are shifting, he struggles to fully shape it into a compelling narrative.

Review by Bartu ★★

Basically, it's a more erotic version of the Past Lives. The characters were not two sweet lovers who were successful in their lives but couldn't get together, but two characterless toxic lovers who couldn't achieve anything in their lives and either harmed those around them or lied and cheated on them.

Review by Watch-it-Pal 👻 ★★★

“you’re confusing sex with love.” I get that realizing you’re kinky can be confusing, but it kinda irked me that they felt the need to include all the classic examples of relationship gaslighting to the point you start to dislike them, and drag out the end rather than ramp up the intensity.  sidebar: I don’t find any issue with the graphic sex scenes; Some movies just need to be slutty.  Coulda been so much shorter though.

Review by The Stuff Addiction ★★★

Relationship drama that revels in erotic kicks and dysfunction, as a pair of mismatched lovers cross each other‘s paths over the course of 8 years. Yes there is explicit sex and nudity, but it‘s not shown in an exploitative manner. Extra points for trying to be authentic rather than fairytale.

Bigna, a twenty-eight-year-old scientist, is used to having everything under control, but her sex life is enshrouded in secrecy. Thirty-three-year-old Frank searches for meaning in a haze of drugs and feeds on other people’s affection. Two opposites who meet by chance and become obsessively entwined in a passionate affair.

Berlin-based sales outfit M-Appeal has acquired the world sales rights to erotic love story “99 Moons,” directed by Jan Gassmann, which will have its world premiere in Cannes’ ACID sidebar.

The film centers on Bigna, a 28-year-old scientist, and 33-year-old Frank. Bigna is used to having everything under control, even her erotic desires follow rules. Frank searches for meaning in a haze of drugs, feeding on other people’s affection. Their different worlds collide, and they become obsessively entwined in a passionate affair.

Upending outmoded gender roles, Bigna is autonomous, dominant and takes what she wants. She defines her interactions with other people, always on her terms. But with Frank, it is different: what starts as a cold encounter sparks the beginning of a passionate attraction and power games that send their lives in a different direction.

First-time actors Valentina Di Pace and Dominik Fellmann lead this “amour fou” story “with a strong and visceral chemistry,” M-Appeal stated Monday.

Popular on Variety

“99 Moons” is Gassmann’s third feature film, and he is “not new to making films with a free and uninhibited approach to romance and sex,” M-Appeal said. “While his documentary ‘Europe, She Loves’ (2016) followed four couples, ‘99 Moons’ translates these themes to fiction, this time exploring the mechanisms of love and power by focusing on one couple. With unflinching intimacy, the raw cinematography (Yunus Roy Imer, ‘Systemcrasher’) brings the audience close to the secrets and conflicts of extreme erotic magnetism; the glue that traps two people in an addictive power play of attraction and rejection.’ “

Gassmann said the film was about “the desperate struggle for rationality in love, the tragedy of not being able to let go of one another. We are hooked, like junkies on dope.”

Working with an intimacy coordinator for each sex scene, detailed choreographies and predefined limits in terms of touch and camera angles were worked out in advance, M-Appeal explained. Gassmann added that allowing more freedom and trust, this process taught him a lot about communication in relation to intimacy on screen.

M-appeal managing director Maren Kroymann said: “Sexuality on screen has always been one of our core interests at M-Appeal, and we are impressed by Jan Gossmann’s natural and free exploration of erotic attraction in ‘99 Moons.’ The film’s strong female lead portrays a dominance rarely represented, which is a refreshing addition for the erotic market.”

In his previous films, Gassmann has worked on the borderline between fiction and documentary. His 2007 documentary “Chrigu” was in competition at the Berlin Film Festival, and won the prize of the Ecumenical Jury. He has been back in Berlin twice, with “Off Beat” (2010) and “Europe, She Loves” (2016). His other movies, “Karma Shadub” (2013) and “Heimatland” (a 2015 omnibus film he initiated), won awards in the main competition sections at the Nyon and Max Ophüls festivals, respectively, and premiered at Locarno.

The producers are Reto Schaerli and Lukas Hobi. The production company is Zodiac Pictures, and the co-production companies are Swiss Radio and Television SRF. The film is supported by Bundesamt für Kultur (EDI), Zürcher Filmstiftung, Kulturfonds-Suissimage, Kanton Luzern and Media Desk Suisse.
