Description
Location:
St. Helena Public Library
1492 Library Lane
St. Helena, CA 94574
Note:
Join St. Helena Public Library every Monday evening at 7 pm for a free film. In November, the library will celebrate the works of a couple of our favorite authors, Truman Capote and Nelle Harper Lee, along with a special film for Thanksgiving. November 9th:
Truman Capote's extraordinary nonfiction book about the course of two killers in this worldâ"their lives, their senseless slaughter of an entire family, their executionsâ"was faithfully adapted for the screen in this 1967 film by Richard Brooks. Robert Blake and Scott Wilson are remarkable as the murderers, but what has kept this film special over the decades is Brooks' blunt, clearheaded, and nonsensational approach to the story. The term "semidocumentary" has been applied to Brooks' style on this film, and it's an entirely fair description. The experience of watching In Cold Blood is naturally unsettling, but the director, as with Capote, leaves final judgments about justice to the beholder. Licensing agreements prohibit us from using the titles of films in promotions. Info, 963-5244.
