Film Details
...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 recognise it. Richard Linklater's Blue Moon tells the story of legendary lyricist Lorenz Hart bravely facing the future as his professional and private life unravel at the opening night party for his former partner's hit show Oklahoma! By the time this night is over, Hart will have confronted both a world that no longer values his talent and the seeming impossibility of love. Revelling in its deceptive simplicity, Blue Moon is awash with hilarity and heartbreak, delivered to perfection by Linklater and his impressive ensemble cast. A touching, deeply emotional story.
