Blue Moon
Richard Linklater / US, IE, 2025 / 100 min.
A razor-sharp, witty performance from Ethan Hawke as Lorenz Hart, one of the most influential American songwriters of his era (Blue Moon, My Funny Valentine). Richard Linklater follows Hart during one fateful evening in his tormented life.
31 March, 1943. The evening of the première of Oklahoma!, the musical by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein. For Lorenz Hart, Rodgers’ former partner, the success of this show marks the disintegration of both his private and professional life. During the chaotic première, Hart – tormented by regret – sees one last chance to breathe new life into his collaboration with Rodgers.
PreludeBefore Blue Moon, you'll see the 1907 short film The Magic Theatre by Segundo Chómon. A five-minute colour ‘trick film’ featuring fireworks, fountains, dancing and a large, devilish head (the director's own) pulling funny faces.
