Blue Moon - On Sale!

Blue Moon

From acclaimed director Richard Linklater, Blue Moon tells the story of the legendary lyricist Lorenz Hart bravely facing the future as his professional and private life unravel during the opening night party for his former partner Richard Rodgers' hit show, "Oklahoma!." Unspooling in real-time during one night at the infamous Sardi's bar in 1943, the film is a meditation on friendship, art and love, featuring a rich tapestry of writers, actors, musicians, friends and proteges - a parade of the famous and the soon-to-be-famous. By the time this night is over, Hart will have confronted both a world irrevocably changed by war and the seeming impossibility of love. With powerful performances from Ethan Hawke as Lorenz Hart, Andrew Scott as Richard Rodgers, Margaret Qualley as Hart's protege Elizabeth and Bobby Cannavale as Hart's bartender, buddy and confidante, the film perfectly captures, with Linklater's deft, comic touch, a singular, astonishing moment in time.
