Gide in Love(2008)

Gide in Love is a film that follows Danielle Russo, a young Paris journalist sent to Sicily in 2000 to research Truman Capote's 1950 visit to the resort town of Taormina. When a local reporter offers his assistance, Russo discovers herself pulled into a decades-old mystery surrounding a crime that captivated the same elegant circles fifty years earlier. The investigation implicates a constellation of twentieth-century literary and artistic figures—André Gide, Capote, Jack Dunphy, Peggy Guggenheim, Jean Cocteau, and Jean Marais—who frequented Taormina's exclusive hotels. As Russo unearths buried secrets and conflicting accounts, the line between historical fact and hidden truth blurs, transforming her assignment into an obsessive quest through the shadowy underworld of postwar bohemia.
