In Cold Blood and Breakfast at Tiffany's

release date: May 24, 2022
In Cold Blood and Breakfast at Tiffany's
Four members of the Clutter family were cruelly murdered on November 15, 1959, in the small hamlet of Holcomb, Kansas, by blasts from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces. There was no obvious reason for the crime, and there were few hints. Truman Capote recreates the murder and the investigation that led to the criminals'' capture, trial, and execution in one of the earliest non-fiction novels ever written, generating both hypnotic suspense and astonishing empathy. In Cold Blood is a film that goes beyond its time, offering heartbreaking insights into the essence of American violence. Nothing horrible can ever happen at Tiffany''s, Holly Golightly knows. Capote created a lady whose name has become a part of the American language, and whose style has become a part of the literary landscape-her poignancy, wit, and naiveté continue to captivate.

A sangue freddo

A sangue freddo
Il 15 novembre 1959, nella cittadina di Holcomb, in Kansas, un proprietario terriero, sua moglie e i loro due figli vengono trovati brutalmente assassinati: sangue ovunque, cavi telefonici tagliati e solo pochi dollari rubati. A capo dell''inchiesta c’è l’agente Alvin Dewey, ma tutto ciò che ha sono due impronte, quattro corpi e molte domande. Truman Capote si reca sul luogo dell’omicidio con la sua amica d’infanzia, la scrittrice Harper Lee, e, mentre ricostruisce l’accaduto, le indagini che portano alla cattura, il processo e infine l’esecuzione dei colpevoli Perry Smith e Dick Hickcock, esplora le circostanze di questo terribile crimine e l’effetto che ha avuto sulle persone coinvolte, scavando nella natura più profonda della violenza americana. Non appena il reportage viene pubblicato, prima a puntate sul «New Yorker» nel 1965 e in volume l’anno successivo, Truman Capote diventa una vera celebrità e le vendite si impennano, così come gli inviti ai party più esclusivi e ai salotti televisivi. Ancora oggi, A sangue freddo viene considerato da molti il libro che ha dato origine a un nuovo genere letterario, un’opera rivoluzionaria e affascinante, una combinazione unica di abilità giornalistica e potere immaginativo.
