๐ŸŽท This witty and heartbreaking chamber piece from screenwriter Robert Kaplow and director Richard Linklater tells the story of Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart just after his split from Richard Rodgers. He is played with campy brilliance, an unspeakable combover and fake smallness by Ethan Hawke.

As part of the legendary Broadway songwriting team with composer Rodgers, Hart was responsible for matchless numbers like The Lady Is a Tramp, Manhattan, My Funny Valentine and of course Blue Moon. But exasperated with Hartโ€™s alcoholism and unreliability, Rodgers broke with him and partnered with Oscar Hammerstein II to write Oklahoma! and then a raft of stage and screen smashes.

The film shifts neatly into a robust portrait of friendship and rivalry between these two giant talents: Hart eclipsed, Rodgers aware of his stature but gracious, and both fiercely opinionated about their art form.

We will meet for pre-drinks at the Garden Cinema Bar before heading to Screen 1. Feel free to choose your favourite seat. And, then we briefly reconvene one more time for a casual Letterboxd Review.

It will be a night at a classy cult cinema, good vibes and an independent movie.

I look forward to seeing you guys there.
