Fans of Richard Linklater rejoice, for we have not one, but two interviews with the legendary filmmaker, to mark the release of his latest feature Blue Moon.
We first spoke to the prolific director back at the Berlinale, where we first saw the film, before chatting to him alongside his starring man – and regular collaborator – Ethan Hawke, who brings Lorenz Hart to life emphatically, in one of the actor’s best ever performances. Hawke tells us why this is one of his most challenging roles, while the duo discuss their own artistic relationship. We also speak about nostalgia and music, while we got an update from Linklater on his ambitious sort-of-new project Merrily We Roll Along. Watch both interviews in their entirety below.
