The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst

Filmmaker Andrew Jarecki examines the complicated life of reclusive real estate icon Robert Durst, the key suspect in a series of unsolved crimes.


Details

The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst is a groundbreaking six-part documentary that delves into the strange and mysterious history of real estate heir Robert Durst. Directed and produced by Andrew Jarecki, along with Marc Smerling, the Oscar-nominated producer behind Capturing the Friedmans, the series explores Durst's connection to the still-unsolved 1982 disappearance of his wife as well as the subsequent murders of family friend Susan Berman and neighbor Morris Black.

Central to the documentary is an extensive and revealing interview with Durst himself, conducted by Jarecki. This interview came about following the release of Jarecki's 2010 feature film, All Good Things, which starred Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst and portrayed Durst's life. Jarecki and Smerling spent nearly a decade researching and gathering evidence for the series, which includes exposing police files, featuring key witnesses, sharing never-before-seen footage, playing private prison recordings, and analyzing thousands of pages of formerly hidden documents.

The Jinx offers viewers a unique perspective into the life of Robert Durst and his alleged involvement in these complex and unresolved cases. With its comprehensive approach to storytelling and riveting interviews, the series promises to captivate and intrigue audiences as it uncovers the truth behind these chilling crimes.
