Loving Highsmith | Official Trailer | DocPlay

Drawing on the diaries of American novelist #PatriciaHighsmith, an intimate portrait of the brilliant writer of screenplay-ready stories whose own gay desires were repressed.

Texan novelist Patricia Highsmith has long been acclaimed for her strange, cinematic stories of suspense, which captured the imaginations of directors including Alfred Hitchcock, Todd Haynes, and Anthony Minghella. Best known for penning The Talented Mr. Ripley and sequels, Highsmith also wrote Carol (aka The Price of Salt), her only novel to feature an unequivocal lesbian relationship. In this intimate documentary, Highsmith’s unpublished diaries lyrically intermingle with the personal accounts of people who knew and loved her. The heart-rending character study depicts a visionary female writer, forced to repress her innate desires by a heteronormative society. #LovingHighsmith
