Unraveling lives are a key feature in two films opening at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center Oct. 24.
Continuing through the month is Ross Fright Fest.
"...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 recognize it." Richard Linklater's "Blue Moon" tells the story of legendary lyricist Lorenz Hart bravely facing the future as his professional and private life unravels 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.
"Blue Moon" is rated R and shows through Nov. 6.
In a sedate corner of Massachusetts circa 1970, JB Mooney (Josh O’Connor), an unemployed carpenter turned amateur art thief, plans his first big heist. When things go haywire, his life unravels.
"The Mastermind" is rated R and shows through Nov. 6
