The film (Wonderstruck) explores a narrative involving deaf characters from different eras, namely the Twenties and the Seventies, and the importance of how their lives intersect. For Moore, working with deaf actors provided the seasoned actress an opportunity to learn a new way of communicating both onscreen and when cameras weren’t rolling. The actress learned American Sign Language to communicate with the project’s deaf costars. “In a sense we were learning two languages”, explained Julianne Moore of her role in Wonderstruck, which was shown as part of the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s 55th Annual New York Film Festival. “The language of silent film and the language of deaf culture.”
