In select theaters today,
Truth opens. It tells the story of how
60 Minutes II tried to break the George W. Bush/Texas Air National Guard story back in 2004 -- and how it all went pear-shaped. Starring Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford as, respectively, Mary Mapes and Robert Redford,
Truth got very mixed reviews out of Toronto, but I appreciated much of what writer-director James Vanderbilt was trying to do here. Much like his script for
Zodiac,
Truth is about subverting audience expectations and leaving things unresolved, open to interpretation. So, for
Biography, I sat down with the guy to talk about all this.
Hope you enjoy.
