Mona Lisa And The Blood Moon is a mind-bending adventure set in the swampy neon-lit streets of New Orleans, and inspired by fantasy-adventure movies of the 1980s and '90s. At its center is a girl with strange and dangerous abilities who escapes from a mental asylum and rejoins the chaos of modern-day civilization, on the hedonistic streets of the French Quarter.
“Ana Lily Amirpour Arrives as a Filmmaker…She’s got it. The quality that makes you major. The ability not to just to tell a story but to hold an audience in the palm of her hand.” The Hollywood Reporter
"Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon is a wonderfully strange take on New Orleans horror" London Evening Standard
"In a sense this is Amirpour's most honest film. Unlike her previous ones, which struck a faux somber tone, this wears its neon, fun-loving heart on its sleeve." Little White Lies
"With its hyper-saturated mood, hypnotic music and highly stylized cinematography, Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon will surely thrill the director's existing fans and convert new ones." The Hollywood Reporter
