The new documentary Arthur Miller: Writer will be seen at The Film Society of Lincoln Center's 55th New York Film Festival, which runs September 28鈥揙ctober 15.
The 98-minute film, directed by the late playwright's daughter, Rebecca Miller, is built around a series of interviews that were filmed over many years in the Miller home. Arthur Miller: Writer is described as a 鈥渃lose consideration of a singular life shadowed by the tragedies of the Red Scare and the death of Marilyn Monroe; a bracing look at success and failure in the public eye; an honest accounting of human frailty; a tribute to one artist by another.鈥�
The documentary, released through HBO Documentary Films, also explores how social commentator Miller formed his ideologies, how his life reflected his work, and, even 鈥渟haped the culture of our country in the twentieth century.鈥�
Two other documentaries about acclaimed writers will also be part of the New York Film Festival: the world premiere of Griffin Dunne鈥檚 Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold, as well as the world premiere of Myles Kane and Josh Koury鈥檚 Voyeur, capturing the investigations explored in Gay Talese鈥檚 book The Voyeur鈥檚 Motel.
Tickets for the 55th New York Film Festival will go on sale September 10 at noon. For more information, visit .
Miller's work was seen on Broadway in recent years with revivals of The Price, The Crucible, and A View From the Bridge.
