The lifelong friendship between legendary writers Truman Capote and Tennessee Williams is examined in the documentary Truman & Tennessee: An Intimate Conversation. Directed by Lisa Immordino Vreeland, and featuring the voices of Jim Parsons and Zachary Quinto, Truman & Tennessee: An Intimate Conversation opens June 18 in New York at Film Forum, Los Angeles at The Nuart and Laemmle Playhouse along with Town Center 5.
The brilliant work, personal struggles, and cultural impact of iconic American writers Truman Capote and Tennessee Williams explodes onto the screen in this innovative dual-portrait documentary.
Filmmaker Lisa Immordino Vreeland masterfully collages a wealth of archival material, including dishy talk show appearances with Dick Cavett and David Frost, with clips from some of the duo’s most memorable movie adaptions: A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Glass Menagerie, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and In Cold Blood. Featuring vibrant voiceover work by award-winning actors Jim Parsons (Capote) and Zachary Quinto (Williams), the film is dripping with wit and wisdom.
It is a celebration of both men’s fearless candor and often tumultuous friendship that honors how their identity as gay Southerners informed their timeless artistic achievements and relationships with family, colleagues, confidants, and – most significantly – each other.
