Ethan Hawke: ‘When We Prioritize Money at All Costs, What We Get Is Generic Material’
Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater spoke about taking risks in art at the Berlin Film Festival press conference for their new film "Blue Moon."
The idea of “offensive art” is a theme in “Blue Moon,” which follows one of the final days in the life of Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers’ former creative partner, as he struggles with alcoholism and depression. “Blue Moon” marks Hawke and Linklater’s first film together in over a decade, since 2014’s “Boyhood.” Alongside Hawke as Lorenz Hart, “Blue Moon” also stars Andrew Scott as Richard Rodgers, Margaret Qualley as Elizabeth Weiland and Bobby Cannavale as a bartender named Eddie. Hawke and Linklater have worked on eight feature films together over the course of their careers, including the “Before” trilogy, “The Newton Boys” and “Fast Food Nation.” At a Venice Film Festival talk last year, Hawke discussed their collaboration and the genesis of “Blue Moon,” saying Linklater wanted to make the movie 12 years ago but said the actor was “still too attractive.”
