In The Seats With...Lisa Immordino Vreeland with 'Truman & Tennessee: An Intimate Conversation'

When icons collide you can't help but watch... On this episode we dive into a new documentary that gives us a slice life from two literary icons and how incredibly important they were for their time. We look at 'Truman & Tennessee: An Intimate Conversation'. The work, lives, and personal journeys of iconic American artists Truman Capote and Tennesee Williams coalesce with creative combustion in this innovative dual-portrait documentary. Filmmaker Lisa Immordino Vreeland distills the loves, fears, and artistic achievements of these masters via an array of archival materials, film clips, and vibrant voiceover work from Jim Parsons and Zachary Quinto as Capote and Williams, respectively. Packed with pearls of wisdoms and eloquent observations, the film celebrates the sometimes tumultuous friendship of the titular writers through the ages, while honoring the way their queer identity informed their world-renowned artistic achievements and relationships with their family, confidants, and — most significantly — each other. Yet another example of how unique the documentary form of storytelling can be, 'Truman & Tennessee: An Intimate Conversation' is actually pretty hard to look away from. We got the unique pleasure to sit down and talk with director Lisa Immordino Vreeland about the importance of both Capote and Williams on the cultural and literary landscape that these men were so vital to, the freedom of the documentary form that allowed Truman and Tennessee to come alive and feel like characters instead of subjects in the film, and so very much more....
