Ethan Hawke on Richard Linklater’s ‘Blue Moon’: ‘Offensive Art’ Won’t Get Made Unless We ‘Demand’ It
Berlin: Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater on their new film 'Blue Moon,' in which Hawke plays American lyricist Lorenz Hart.
The film takes place in or around the same bar at Sardi’s, where Rodgers (Andrew Scott) is greeting his rapturous public after the musical’s Broadway premiere while trying to keep a distance from his former creative collaborator, whose boozing and insecurities (and often wild overconfidence) make people uncomfortable. Ethan Hawke undergoes a unique physical transformation to give a theatrical but never overplayed performance as a five-foot-tall, sexually ambiguous alcoholic perched precariously on the wagon. Sony Pictures Classics brought “Blue Moon” to Berlin with North American distribution in place; expect an awards push here, following a planned late spring release.
