B Is For... Black Moon (1975)

Dir. Louis Malle

When I watched the whole of a Louis Malle boxset, it because obvious Black Moon was drastically different from any of his other films within it. It still feels like the other four films in that set, which does give a sense of a director who was able, for a movie or two, to shift style and still create something that fitting his filmography perfectly. It also feels like a Freudian romp through Alice In Wonderland with a Andy Warhol/Paulo Morrissey star and a shabby unicorn along for the trip, which is great too.

The only film of Malle's said to be close to this is Zazie dans le Metro (1960), which will be an interesting viewing experience.
