Description 1 online resource (1 video file (87 min.)) : sound, color and black and white Summary "A unique look at the life of celebrated American author Patricia Highsmith based on her diaries and notebooks, and the intimate reflections of her lovers, friends and family. Focusing on Highsmith₂s quest for love and her troubled identity, the film sheds new light on her life and writing. Most of Highsmith₂s novels were adapted for the big screen; the best known of these are Strangers on a Train and The Talented Mr. Ripley. Carol, a partly autobiographic novel, was the first lesbian story with a happy ending to be published in 1950s America. But Highsmith herself was forced to lead a double life and had to hide her vibrant love affairs from her family and the public. Only in her unpublished writings did she reflect on her private life. Excerpts from these notes voiced by Gwendoline Christie, beautifully interwoven with archival material of her and her most famous novel adaptations, create a vivid, touching portrait of one of the most fascinating female writers."--Publisher website Notes Originally produced as a motion picture in 2022 Credits Cinematography, Siri Klug ; editor, Rebecca Trosch ; music, Noël Akchoté Cast Gwendoline Christie, Marijane Meaker, Monique Buffet, Tabea Blumenschein, Judy Coates, Courtney Coates, Dan Coates Notes In English, German and French with English subtitles Audience Rating: Not rated Notes Description based on DVD version record; title from title screen (viewed October 13, 2022) Subject Highsmith, Patricia, 1921-1995 -- Diaries SUBJECT Highsmith, Patricia, 1921-1995 fast Subject Authors, American -- 20th century -- Biography Authors, American Genre/Form documentary film.
