About this product

Product Information

Bringing John Berendt's international best-selling novel, MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL, to the screen must have been a challenge. The book is essentially an anecdotal travelogue of the fascinating city of Savannah, Georgia. The filmmakers decided to add a character, John Kelso (well played by John Cusack), a writer from New York, who's meant to represent Berendt's point of view. They also put most of the focus of the narrative on the murder trial of local millionaire socialite Jim Williams (the redoubtable Kevin Spacey). This is slightly problematic in that Kelso, a mere observer, now becomes the central character of the film. But director Clint Eastwood (straying from his usual milieu, and, atypically, not appearing the film) and writer John Lee Hancock still manage to capture the quirky spirit of the book. They're greatly aided in this regard by the lush images of cinematographer Jack N. Green and the detailed work of production designer Henry Bumstead, who create just the right atmosphere for the small city and its environs. The strong cast, including actual Savannah residents such as sparkplug transsexual the Lady Chablis, makes the film an enjoyable idyll in a strange yet welcoming place.

    Fairly true to the book

    At times I felt like Keven Spacey was too relaxed, but maybe that was how Jim Williams was during the whole ordeal. We will never know exactly what happened that night, but the movie does follow the book pretty closely.

    casting director cannot do it alone

    This movie relies too heavily on the casting of esscentric characters and ugly people dressed in formal clothing. The sets, landscapes and lavish accessories was also excessive as was Spacey's acting. This is not Superman Movie and required a bit more genuine human emotion to pull it off. Spacey shows none and the supporting cast isn't supporting either. The exception to this pretend drama: Jude Law was so good I did not recognize him until the credits!

    Beautiful film. Predictable plot and ending.

    Loved the Savannah setting, and that's why I bought this. The scenery and history of the architecture are amazing. I've been to Savannah several times, and this movie captures the spirit of it all. Movie plot was predictable. I'll watch it again and again just to see Savannah.

    Perfect Timing

    My mom loves this movie! Although it tormented me through my childhood, I no longer live with her and really wanted to get it for her birthday. I couldn't find a copy nearby so I came here. Ordering so close, I expected it a few days after her day. It showed up the day before! Works perfectly and I have a happy mommy! Thank you!!
