“A fascinating account of a loving, but troubled relationship” – Hollywood Reporter
“★★★★ – An enlightening snapshot of two literary giants” – Total Film
From director Lisa Immordino Vreeland (Peggy Guggenheim: Art Addict, Diana Vreeland : The Eye Has to Travel) comes this story of two of the 20th century’s greatest writers – and earliest openly gay public figures. Truman Capote and Tennessee Williams are examined in a dialogue that stretches from the earliest days of their friendship to their final, unsparing critiques of each other in this captivating documentary.
Giving life and physicality to their relationship, Jim Parsons and Zachary Quinto provide the voices of these two icons and anti-heroes.
In an era that has become glutted with one-named celebrities: it’s time for a return to the originals. The two men themselves, as they lived their own life stories, embody the present more than the subjects they confronted in their works.
A Q&A with director Lisa Immordino Vreeland, hosted by film critic Jason Solomons, is included after the film.
