Shots rang out in Savannah's grandest mansion in the misty, early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. John Berendt's narrative reads like a thoroughly engrossing novel, and yet it is a work of nonfiction. Berendt interweaves a first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case. The story is peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman's Card Club; the turbulent young redneck gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the "soul of pampered self-absorption"; the uproarious black drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young blacks dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight. These and other Savannahians act as a Greek chorus, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else.

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (Clint Eastwood, 1997). A murder investigation in Savannah, Georgia. Great acting (Kevin Spacey, John Cusack, Alison Eastwood, Lady Chablis), memorable characters, a strong sense of place and some hilarious moments. Masterful. #MidnightintheGardenofGoodandEvil
Medianoche en el jardín del bien y del mal, Clint Eastwood, 1997.

"This thing needed to be bursting with Southern flavouring and intrigue. It's odd to have a director who seems totally disinterested in supplying it."
My ★★½ review of #MidnightInTheGardenOfGoodAndEvil on @Letterboxd

I think part of the appeal of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is that the protagonist gets to parachute in to chronicle small town drama — without having to grow up under the scrutiny of the same town’s gossip machine.
