Infamous (2006)

Beneath the surface of this gracious and aesthetic tale of reportage and repellent murder lies a melancholic love story. A love smothered between harsh truths and elegant lies.

Truman glides ostentatiously between the parallel worlds of the elite and the commonalty, initially with curiosity and hauteur but ultimately with artistic integrity and grace.

This fascination of the human frailties behind the destructive force of the criminal mind draws us into the complexities of a troubled soul, but whose?

With similar backgrounds of grief, Perry and Truman bond. Each man is unable to escape from the constraints of his own making.
