Aro Favourite In Cold Blood

Dir. Richard Brooks
English
Rating: [M]
Genres: Classics, Suspense/Crime, Cult / Psycho

Feat. Robert Blake, Scott Wilson, John Forsythe, Jeff Corey

 

Aroview: A masterpiece of crime fiction adapted from Truman Capote’s novel about events surrounding the senseless murder of an innocent family by two unstable ‘petty’ criminals.

Shot in celebrated black-and-white ‘Panavision’ by Conrad Hall, and matched by Quincy Jones’ superb modern jazz score, this compliments its stylish homage to ‘film noir’ with a stark realism and psychological complexity. Part police procedural but essentially a penetrating criminal character study, it paints its cold-blooded killers also as the tragic ‘victims’ of broken homes and broken dreams, drawing considerable power from the riveting performances of a young Robert Blake and Scott Wilson.
