Moon Manor is one of the best movies of 2022. This lovely ode to a life well lived coming to an end features a main character unlike any I have seen in a very long time. James Carozzo is a man who was on the fringes of Hollywood for many years. He was a hippie who tried out for the musical Hair before moving to Hollywood where he found work in Cabarets, nightclubs and on cruise ships where he always delighted audiences.
That backstory, filled in with even more wonderful and inventive details, fuels the story of Moon Manor in which Carozzo plays Jimmy, a man throwing himself a funeral. Today is the last day of Jimmy’s life as he has decided to hire someone to guide him into death. Before he goes however, he’s gathering his family and friends, and a journalist, for an epic party so that he can say goodbye in typically Jimmy fashion.
