Truman Capote,
Enfant terrible de la littérature américaine

Année: 2016
Réalisation: Adrian Stangell
Pays: Allemagne
Durée: 53 min

Une évocation passionnée de la vie et de l’œuvre de Truman Capote, auteur flamboyant et incorrigible mondain. Aux documents d'archives se mêlent des extraits des nouvelles et des romans de l'auteur, depuis "Les domaines hantés", son premier roman publié, jusqu'à son testament littéraire, l'œuvre inachevée "Prières exaucées".
Figure mondaine, auteur surdoué aussi célèbre pour son œuvre que pour ses frasques, Truman Capote (1924-1984) s’est fait connaître du monde entier en 1958 grâce à un court roman, Petit déjeuner chez Tiffany (adapté au cinéma dans Diamants sur canapé, avec Audrey Hepburn). Cinquante ans après sa parution, son "roman-vérité" De sang-froid (1965) n’a rien perdu de sa profondeur, et reste un monument de la littérature criminelle. Le documentaire suit l’ascension de ce jeune homme des classes populaires de La Nouvelle-Orléans, propulsé dès l’adolescence dans le monde journalistique et littéraire new-yorkais avant de devenir une figure de la jet-set.
Gloires et déconvenues
Amis, admirateurs, biographe et spécialistes évoquent l’héritage littéraire de ce talent d’exception, racontant avec passion ses gloires et ses déconvenues. Aux documents d’archives – dont des interviews marquantes de Truman Capote – se mêlent des extraits des nouvelles et des romans de l’auteur, depuis Les domaines hantés, son premier roman, jusqu’à son testament littéraire, l’œuvre inachevée Prières exaucées.

(à 1min 45sec) 5ème avenue, n°727. Bienvenue chez Tiffany & Co, célèbre joailler new-yorkais, entré dans l'histoire de la littérature mondiale grâce à cet homme: Truman Capote. "Petit déjeuner chez Tiffany" est l'ouvrage le plus connu de Truman Capote. Au cinéma, c'est la légendaire Audrey Hepburn qui a incarné Holly Golightly, cette jeune texane fraîchement débarquée à New York en quête d'une vie nouvelle, de glamour, et d'elle-même.
Deborah Davis, écrivain: "Son style est admirable. Ses phrases sonnent comme une musique quand on les lit à haute voix."
(lecture d'un extrait): "Elle portait toujours ses lunettes noires, était toujours très soignée, témoignait dans ses toilettes d'un bon goût concerté à base de bleu et de gris, d'une absence de tape à l'oeil qui ne lui donnait que plus d'éclat."
Au moindre coup de blues, Holly Golightly, obsédée par les bijoux, fait une halte devant la vitrine du célèbre joailler.
Le roman est devenu un classique. L'écriture de Truman Capote y est pour beaucoup.
Peter Haag, éditeur: "Capote est un styliste. Il n'est jamais ennuyeux. Ses personnages sont si bien campés qu'ils prennent corps aussitôt. Il a un ton pour décrire les situations. C'est aéré, léger et intelligent."
(lecture d'un extrait): "On devrait pouvoir épouser des hommes ou des femmes ou... écoute, si tu venais me trouver pour me dire que tu voulais me mettre à la colle avec un cheval de course, je respecterai tes sentiments. Non, sans blague, l'amour devrait être permis ! Je suis pour à fond."
S'il est normal qu'aujourd'hui une jeune femme profite de la vie, et qu'elle ait beaucoup d'amis hommes; à l'époque, Holly Golightly fait figure de fille facile.
Gerald Clarke, biographe: "Holly Golightly n'est pas une prostituée. C'est une jeune femme qui fait des faveurs aux messieurs fortunés. On ne sait pas si elle couche avec eux ou pas."
Dans le livre, Holly est une fille de la campagne. Dans le film, une jeune femme élégante et raffinée. Bien qu'ami avec Audrey Hepburn, Capote trouvait ce choix malencontreux. Il aurait préféré voir Marilyn Monroe dans le rôle d'Holly.
Bob Colacello, écrivain et photographe: "La plupart des gens ne connaissent que le film avec Audrey Hepburn. Hollywood a beaucoup aseptisé l'histoire, comme le reste à l'époque. Dans les séries télé des années 50s, les couples dormaient dans des lits jumeaux, jamais dans un grand lit."

------------------------------

(à 21min 26sec) Truman Capote s'entoure de riches héritières, comme Gloria Vanderbilt ou de comédiennes et chanteuses, comme Pearl Bailey. Des grandes amies qu'il surnomme affectueusement "My swans" ("mes cygnes").
Deborah Davis, écrivain: "Il adorait les nighclubs et il adorait les femmes. Très jeune déjà, il s'entourait de belles dames. Ses relations étaient platoniques mais essentielles pour lui."
Jeune homme, Truman rêvait d'être richissime. Il s'avoure d'autant plus cette proximité nouvelle avec le gratin. Son "cygne" préféré est le mannequin Babe Paley. Comme toutes ces dames du grand monde, elle est en quête constante d'amusement et nul n'est plus amusant que Truman.
Deborah Davis, écrivain: "Truman veillait à ce que leur rouge à lèvres soit impeccable, repérait les couturiers qui les mettait le plus en valeur. il s'intéressait aux menus de leurs dîners, à tout ce qui les préoccupait elles-mêmes. Et il les écoutait, les conseillait. Il était leur meilleur ami."
Truman Capote n'a jamais caché son homosexualité, bien au contraire. Ainsi, il peut flirter ouvertement avec des femmes mariées, sans que leur mari ne leur jalouse. Ces messieurs ne voient rien à redire à ce que leurs femmes confient leurs secrets à Truman. Une naïveté qu'ils regretteront plus tard.

Capote observe les riches new-yorkais avec une pointe d'enthousiasme et d'envie. Il devient le point de mire de chaque soirée, l'amuseur de la jet set. Il peut bientôt se permettre d'être très exigeant avec ses accompagnatrices, comme il le révélera plus tard dans un autoportrait.
(lecture d'un extrait de The Dogs Bark): "Il y a des hommes avec qui j'aime déjeuner, et dans l'ensemble, je préfère les femmes belles, ou du moins, extrêmement séduisantes, très vives d'esprit et au courant. Mais je ne pense pas qu'une femme mérite la note maximale tant qu'elle n'atteint pas et ne maintient pas une certaine qualité de style, d'apparence et de bon sens enjoué qui dépasse le niveau facile de séduction propre à la jeunesse."
Parmi celles qui le mérite, il range Marilyn Monroe. Au début des années 50s, Truman lui consacre, comme à d'autres célébrités, un portrait qui fait sensation. Daniel Kehlman, auteur à succés en Allemagne, vit quelques mois par an à New York. Il a publié plusieurs articles sur Truman Capote, dont il apprécie particulièrement les impressions de voyages et les portraits.
Daniel Kehlman, écrivain: "Il était impitoyable envers ceux sur qui il écrivait. Pas dans le sens où il les dénaturait, il restait très près de qu'il estimait être la réalité. Mais son oeuvre se nourissait très souvent de cette proximité, de cette intimité qu'il créait sciemment avec eux."
Cela vaut peut être aussi pour son portrait de Marilyn Monroe.
Truman Capote: "Je connaissais Marilyn bien avant qu'elle ne devienne une star de cinéma. Nous avons toujours été très bons amis. Je n'y avais jamais réfléchi, mais nous avions énormément de points communs. C'est peut être pour cela que nous étions si proches."
(lecture d'un extrait): "La lumière baissait. Marilyn semblait s'estomper avec elle, se fondre dans le ciel et les nuages, s'amenuiser au loin. Je voulais élever la voix, couvrir le cri des mouettes, la rappeler: Marilyn, Marilyn ! Pourquoi faut-il toujours que les choses tournent de cette façon ? Pourquoi faut-il que la vie soit tellement dégeulasse ?"

> Extrait article Happy Birthday Mr. President :
New York, New York – (September 7, 2016) – On Saturday, May 19, 1962, at a Democratic fundraiser and early 45th birthday celebration, President John F. Kennedy took his seat in Madison Square Garden anticipating what has now become one of the most iconic moments in entertainment and political history. In front of 15,000 guests, many of them celebrities, actor Peter Lawford was about to make an introduction that would change the course of pop culture and Presidential folklore forever. Under a bright spotlight, the legendary Marilyn Monroe walked on stage and peeled away her white ermine fur coat, revealing a skintight, sheer, flesh-colored dress that sparkled with over 2,500 handstitched crystals. The custom Jean Louis creation was so tight fitting that Marilyn wore nothing underneath and had to be sewn into it last minute. Original sketch illustrated by Bob Mackie. When Marilyn appeared and the dress was finally revealed, the entire audience gasped. 
  After Peter Lawford introduced her as the “LATE” Marilyn Monroe, she flicked the microphone and began to sing “Happy Birthday Mr. President” in her trademark sultry, sexy voice with original lyrics she wrote herself.    However, it was her intimate tone and projection of the words “Mr. President” that would stun the audience, excite the press and become a milestone in popular culture. The song and performance were remembered for many reasons, not the least because it was one of her last public appearances before her untimely death less than three months later. Sadly, President Kennedy died a year later and that infamous night at MSG was the last known time they saw each other. The rendition by Marilyn remains one of the most famous, delivered in her halting, breathy tone. All in all, it lasted approximately 30 seconds, but more than five decades later, it remains the most famous version of “Happy Birthday” ever. The dress, the performance, Jacqueline Kennedy’s absence and photographs from the evening would spark ravenous rumors of an affair between the President and Marilyn.
  In fact, it was Marilyn’s death in 1962 that prompted American artist Andy Warhol to create “Marilyn’s Diptych” — one of the most famous art homages to her, permanently securing Marilyn’s place in contemporary art history.
“Marilyn Monroe singing ‘Happy Birthday Mr. President’ is certainly one of the most famous impromptu performances in American history,” said Darren Julien, President & CEO of Julien’s Auctions. “That rendition has lived on for decades as one of the most remarkable events in her career and certainly one of the most storied tales in popular culture history — a moment in time squarely at the center of the 1960s, Hollywood and Camelot. We are incredibly privileged to have the opportunity to offer this amazing dress to collectors, fans and contemporary art enthusiasts around the world.” 
  On November 17, 2016, Julien’s Auctions, the world-record breaking auction house to the stars, will once again make history when it exclusively offers the Marilyn Monroe “Happy Birthday Mr. President” Jean Louis creation at auction. Julien’s Auctions will give collectors and fans from around the globe one of the most awe-inspiring moments in auction history when the gavel comes down on the final bid for this remarkable object.
Prior to the auction, the “Happy Birthday Mr. President” dress will go on an exclusive world tour. The dress will exhibit at MANA Contemporary in New Jersey as part of the Exhibition “Marilyn: Character Not Image” followed by the Newbridge Silverware Museum of Style Icons (MOSI) in Kildare, Ireland before making its way back to the Julien’s Auctions Gallery in Los Angeles.
“We have had remarkable opportunities to offer unique objects related to Marilyn Monroe in the past,” said Martin Nolan, Executive Director of Julien’s Auctions. “To be part of the continued interest and excitement around this legend is always thrilling. This dress, this story, this momentous occasion represents a defining moment in history. This auction will remind the world why Marilyn Monroe remains an icon.”
The dress will be presented on the custom-made mannequin that was designed to match Marilyn Monroe’s exact body measurements.

> article Press Release: Lee Strasberg :
Julien’s Auctions, the world record breaking auction house to the stars, has announced on offer one of the most personal collections of Marilyn Monroe from the estate of Lee Strasberg. The auction will include a wide variety of documents and personal items once owned by Marilyn Monroe and represents the largest collection of Marilyn Monroe artifacts ever offered at auction.
  Besides being an actor and director in his own right, Strasberg is considered the father of method acting in America. Strasberg revolutionized the art of acting by having a profound influence on performance in American theater and movies. A myriad of actors and directors from the United States and around the world gave Lee Strasberg credit for his influence on them, including Mike Nichols, Richard Harris, Dustin Hoffman, Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, Jane Fonda and Robert DeNiro.” Stars of Hollywood’s silver screen era who trained under Strasberg include Montgomery Clift, James Dean, Jean Stapleton and of course, Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn developed a close personal relationship with Lee and his wife Paula, and she ultimately bequeathed all of her personal effects and clothing to Lee in her will. 
   "No one person ever really knew every facet of Marilyn Monroe, though countless books have attempted to piece together every first, second and third hand account of each encounter, often embellished through passage of time. Marilyn was a complex and beguiling figure in her lifetime, leaving generations of adoring fans to speculate, infer and debate about her life. What has resulted is a prismatic kaleidoscope image built upon both fact and fantasy." – Anna Strasberg
   “This is one of the most important and historic auctions of Marilyn Monroe ever. This diverse collection gives us a most intimate glimpse of the screen legend. Never before have there been so many important artifacts from the life and career of the much loved global icon Marilyn Monroe as in our Nov 19th and 20th auction.” – Martin Nolan, Executive Director of Julien’s Auctions.
   Perhaps the highlight of the items is one of just a few pieces of fine jewelry ever owned by Monroe: a ladies platinum and diamond cocktail watch with face reading “Blancpain, and the movement is signed Rayvill Watch Co. 17 Jewels, Unadjusted Switzerland.”  The sale includes other pieces of costume jewelry, compacts, cosmetics and a few pieces related to Joe DiMaggio. A DiMaggio highlight is an alligator men’s accessory case with custom “JDim” initial in brass on lid with a combination lock closure set to “555” — a repetition of DiMaggio’s Yankee number 5. 
   The sale will also include a beautiful 1950’s brown alligator ladies handbag from I. Magnin & Co. with matching accessories, a grey pony handbag from Mexico still containing three one peso bills, and a number of other handbags, fur coats and stoles.
   Of particular interest is a stunning ladies minaudière with the original box, featuring three compartments including one for loose powder with cotton buffer, mirror, comb, two mercury dimes, eight Phillip Morris cigarettes and a tube of used Revlon lipstick in “Bachelor’s Carnation” with a date of 1947, a virtual time capsule of one of the star’s nights out on the town.
   The items in this collection also include documents that represent signposts containing unbiased factual information placing the star in a certain place on a certain day, the only tangible things left behind to mark simple and remarkable moments in her life and career, from a taxi receipt dated February 2, 1960 listing the trip details as simply “From: 904 To: 20th Century” to a check dated July 25, 1952 written in Monroe’s hand to her mother Gladys Eley in the amount of $150.00 endorsed by her mother signed, “Mrs. Gladys P. Eley.” In addition to household, food, fur, books, beauty, and clothing receipts, there are tax documents listing the star’s expenditures in great detail, a collection of recipes given to her by friends, and of certain interest is her 1962 checkbook containing the filled out stubs of every check written from her account in the final year of her life as well as the checks written from her account immediately after her death.
   The items provide an unprecedented look at the daily details of her life, offering yet another perspective of Monroe.
   In addition to these extraordinary highlights from the screen icon’s life are documents, correspondence, poems and intimate notes featured in the appropriately titled 2012 book Fragments. The book helped to piece together a more even-handed view of the icon, demonstrating her intellectual curiosity, vulnerability and humanity. The poems included in the book offer a deeply personal look into Monroe’s thoughts, such as this excerpt: “Only parts of us will ever touch parts of others — one’s own truth is just that really — one’s own truth…” Many of the writings featured in the book are contained in notebooks that are included in the sale as well as lighter material like her now famous recipe for stuffing scrawled on a sheet of “City Title Insurance Company” notepaper.

> article Press Release: Frieda Hull :
Unprecedented Frieda Hull Collection and Archive Contains Never Before Seen Color and Black & White Candid Snapshots, Photographs and Slides, Movie Stills, Publicity Photos, Lobby Cards, Home Movies, and Autographs.
Frieda Hull was a member of the now famous “Monroe Six,” a New York City based group of teenagers who photographed Marilyn whenever and wherever they could. As an airline employee, Hull was in the enviable position of being able to photograph Marilyn also on the West Coast. Much to Marilyn’s surprise and delight, the group learned of her whereabouts from various sources, including movie magazines and her hairdresser. Many times the team simply waited for Marilyn outside of her hotel, her home, or events she was attending. Over time, Marilyn came to know each member of the group, even inviting them to the Roxbury, CT home she shared with then husband Arthur Miller for a picnic. Marilyn frequently autographed the photos the group had taken of her and also was known to give them gifts.
   The extraordinary Frieda Hull Marilyn Monroe Photo Archive spans nearly the entirety of Monroe’s career, from the late 1940s through to 1962. The collection includes photographs she and other members of the Monroe Six took of Marilyn, along with photographs she personally collected through the years. Rare items from the archive include unseen color photos of Marilyn as she sang “Happy Birthday” for President John F. Kennedy at Madison Square Garden on May 19, 1962, never-before-seen slides of Marilyn on location as she filmed the now famous subway skirt-blowing scene for The Seven Year Itch, a large collection of  many unpublished photos of Marilyn at the 1955 premiere of East of Eden, rare photos of Monroe on the set in Phoenix while filming Bus Stop in 1956, and a photo of Marilyn with her dog Maf that is very likely a photograph never seen before.
    Other rare highlights include eleven color slides which show Marilyn and Arthur Miller following the premiere of Some Like It Hot in 1959, some of which have likely never been seen. One slide in the collection shows Monroe sitting in the back of a vehicle with a bird in a cage on her lap, likely “Butch,” the Millers’ pet parakeet. Home movies in the archive show remarkable footage of Marilyn departing her apartment in New York on May 30, 1958. Other footage shows Marilyn attending an event at the Italian Consulate on May 13, 1959, where she received the David di Donatello Award for her work in The Prince and The Showgirl. The movie still and publicity photos in the Frieda Hull collection are unparalleled, with photographs from twenty-seven of Marilyn’s thirty films, ranging in years from 1947 through 1962. The impressive Bus Stop archive includes approximately 150 movie stills, 30 publicity photographs, and 18 lobby cards.
    The Frieda Hull Marilyn Monroe Photo Archive includes over 550 color and black & white candid snapshots and photographs, over 150 color slides, nearly 750 movie stills, publicity photos and lobby cards, and personal home movies.
    Additional items from the Frieda Hull Marilyn Monroe Collection being offered at Julien’s Auctions include autographed photos and snapshots, Frieda Hull’s original ticket and program to a 1962 JFK Madison Square Garden gala, a Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller autographed Gladstone Hotel menu, Frieda’s “Monroe Six” badge, a scarf Marilyn gifted to Frieda, a Marilyn Monroe calendar, and vintage Marilyn Monroe albums.
