Trivia
The title "Mal di Pietre" (in Italian) / "Mal de Pierres" (in French) means "Evil Stones/Stone Pain/Stone Ache". In the context of the novel, it refers to the protagonist's kidney stones. While the English title, "From the Land of the Moon", comes from an excerpt of the novel: "Her whole life she had been told that she was like someone from the land of the moon..."

Goofs
It's very unlikely that in 1950s France, Gabrielle would be diagnosed by a female doctor.

[7.1] Love, hormones and letters

Another bright movie from Marillon Cotillard, the very talented French actress who shines in other ways in this limited, averagely deep production. Everything is on point in a simple, semi-impactful and mysterious way. The beginning was well developed alongside the middle, just the end and what precede it was a little average, hurting the production in a minimal to the sense way.
