About Loving Highsmith

A unique look at the life of celebrated American author Patricia Highsmith based on her diaries, notebooks and the intimate reflections of her lovers, friends and family.

Most of Highsmith's novels were adapted for the big screen, including The Talented Mr. Ripley and the radical, partly autobiographical, Carol. Excerpts from these are interwoven with fascinating archive material and revealing notes from her private writings to create a vivid, touching portrait of one of the most fascinating female writers.
