You know how in mar­ria­ge they say ‘for bet­ter or for worse’? I think, in terms of my life, I have ente­red the ‘for worse’ part, and it hap­pen­ed so quiet­ly I didn’t even reco­gni­ze it.”
Richard Linklater’s 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!”. In 100 minu­tes, the film uns­pools in real-time the events in Sardi’s bar on the evening of March 31, 1943. It is a medi­ta­ti­on on fri­end­ship, art and love, fea­turing a rich tapestry of wri­ters, actors, musi­ci­ans, fri­ends and pro­té­gés – 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 the 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 pro­té­gé 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.
