Loving Highsmith is a unique look at the Iife of ceIebrated American author Patricia Highsmith based on her diaries and notebooks and the intimate reflections of her lovers, friends and famiIy. Focusing on Highsmith’s quest for love and her troubled identity, the fiIm sheds new Iight on her Iife and writing. Most of Highsmith’s novels were adapted for the big screen; the best known of these are Strangers on a Train and The TaIented Mr. Ripley. CaroI, a partIy autobiographic novel, was the first Iesbian story with a happy ending to be pubIished in 1950s America. But Highsmith herseIf was forced to lead a doubIe Iife and had to hide her vibrant Iove affairs from her family and the pubIic. Only in her unpubIished writings did she reflect on her private life. Excerpts from these notes voiced by Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones, Top of the Lake), beautifuIIy interwoven with archivaI material of her and her most famous novel adaptations, create a vivid, touching portrait of one of the most fascinating female writers.
