Blue Moon

1943. Set in real time at in iconic Broadway bar Sardi’s, where lyricist Lorenz Hart has just stormed out of Oklahoma!’s opening night. Hailed a magnificent success for Hart’s former collaborator Richard Rodgers’ and his new partner Oscar Hammerstein, Hart laments and surmises his life and career with humour and ire as the post-show celebrations take place in the room next door.

Ethan Hawke delivers a charming, lived-in performance as lyricist Lorenz Hart as he meditates on friendship, art, love and success. Featuring a stellar supporting cast of Andrew Scott, Margaret Qualley and Bobby Cannavale, Linklater magnificently captures a singular, astonishing moment about the inevitable passage of time and the feeling of being left behind by those who inevitably are.
