Blue Moon

Winner of the Silver Bear for Best Supporting Performance (Andrew Scott)
Nominated for 2 Oscars: Best Original Screenplay and Best Actor (Ethan Hawke)

In the Oscar-nominated BLUE MOON, Richard Linklater (BEFORE SUNRISE, BOYHOOD) captures a single night in 1943, on the opening night of the musical Oklahoma!, when a brilliant but tormented songwriter, Lorenz Hart, is confronted with his past, his loss, and the success of his former partner.

Filmed in just fifteen days, with an emphasis on dialogue and acting, BLUE MOON feels like an intimate play in which every silence takes on meaning. The film is shot with an intimate style and is carried by impressive performances from Ethan Hawke, Margaret Qualley, Andrew Scott, and Bobby Cannavale.

BLUE MOON paints a melancholic portrait of a man who continues to grapple with his own legend. “Linklater’s best film in years”, according to Knack Focus.
