Three Capote stories, one Geraldine Page masterclass — the 1969 indie that Cannes never saw.
Trilogy is an anthology film of three adaptations of Truman Capote short stories: Miriam, Among the Paths to Eden and A Christmas Memory. It was listed to compete at the 1968 Cannes Film Festival, but the festival was cancelled due to the events of May 1968 in France.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Cannes cancellation meant Trilogy never got its red carpet moment; it instead became a buried gem of American independent cinema.
Frank Perry and wife Eleanor co-wrote the adaptation — rare 1960s husband-wife creative partnership in film.
