Based on the legendary book of Truman Capote, the HAU Movie Club presents the classic film "In Cold Blood" (1967), offering at the end of the evening 3 audience members the chance to win a copy of the masterpiece book, published by Patakis Editions
The classic 1967 film tells the true story of the murder of a family of four in Kansas in 1959, when two former convicts break into their home in search of money, leading to one of the most shocking crimes of the era. Through a restrained yet gripping narrative, the film follows both the police investigation and the psychological journey of the perpetrators, painting a dark portrait of violence and human nature.
Richard Brooks’ film was immediately recognized as a masterpiece and received major acclaim, including four Academy Award nominations, among them Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for Richard Brooks.
The book of the same name by Truman Capote (1966) is considered a work of immense historical and literary significance, as it created the genre of the “non-fiction novel” and laid the foundation for modern true crime.
The three lucky winners who will receive a copy of the book will be selected through a lucky draw after the screening.
