Filled to the brim with remarkable performances from Ethan Hawke (MAUDIE, CIFF 2016), Margaret Qualley (MY SALINGER YEAR, CIFF 2020), Bobby Cannavale, and Silver Bear Award-winner Andrew Scott, BLUE MOON is a deftly comic delight capturing a singular – and astonishing – moment in time.
From legendary director Richard Linklater (NOUVELLE VAGUE, CIFF 2025) comes the story of lyricist Lorenz Hart facing an uncertain 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, BLUE MOON is a meditation on friendship, art, and love.
