Amanda Knox
Netflixhas institute a name for itself in all sorts of ways ; from its impressive and steadily building slate of original picture , to its wealth of gripping goggle box shows , whether they be fancied dramas or truthful - life sentence documentaries . The latest docudrama offer from the channel also seems sure to pull in strong ratings too , if the succeeder ofMaking a Murdereris anything to go by . If the popularity of that show is to be believed , the general public dear to keep an eye on a show that presents the fact to what could be seen as a classic ' whodunnit ' case . The argumentation of whether Steven Avery was guilty or framed raged across all forms of societal medium , with everyone having an opinion one fashion or another .
With that in creative thinker , it seems almost certain thatAmanda Knoxwill also set off some vital word too . present the ' other side ' of the story , Amanda Knoxwill take a look at the now infamous murder run in 2007 , when Knox was impeach with her then - swain , Raffaele Sollecitio , of killing her roommate , Meredith Kercher , in a drug - fueled sex game . The murder ask position in Perugia , Italy , where Knox was studying at the fourth dimension . Though Knox protested her ingenuousness , she was convict and then spent four years in an Italian jailhouse before being acquitted on ingathering and released in 2011 .
Though she was clear up , many still doubt Knox ’s sinlessness , and Netflix fiddle intemperately on the ambiguity surrounding the case in two new trailers for the doc ; one that encourage you to consider her , one that says we should distrust her . watch out the trailers below , and attempt to make up your own mind .
Of naturally , it ’s impossible to ever say for certain whether Knox is or is n’t guilty , but you’re able to warrant that everyone will still state their opinion on the matter , irrespective . The documentary , from Rod Blackhurst and Brian McGinn , give many different angles of the face , including interviews with Knox herself ( who is nifty to say her tale ) , Sollecitio , British Tabloid Journalist Nick Pisa ( who worked on the tarradiddle ) and the Italian prosecuting officer who bring the case to court of law . After her first acquittal , Knox and Sollecitio then had their charges reinstated ( Knox was back in her Seattle home by that full point ) , before ultimately being acquitted again by the Italian High Court .
Blackhurst and McGinn acknowledge that they have approachedAmanda Knoxin a different way to most documentaries . first of all , all interviewees are invest center screen , talk directly to the tv camera , Blackhurst tellsTHR , in an attempt to strip away pre - conceived notions about the subjects involved ( mainly Knox ):
" We thought if we could center them in the middle of the frame , have them address directly , making eye contact , to you , the audience , we could strip out a batch of that noise that might influence how you felt about them . "
There is also a sure element of theatricality to the documentary , too , including the very deliberate choice of backdrop music , " Tu Vuo Fa L’Americano , " which was also used inThe gifted Mr. Ripley : a script - turn movie that , most will recall , focuses on an American caught up in a murder investigation while abroad . Says Blackhurst :
" We ’re hop too that there is a trivial moment of our love for David Fincher ’s films that arrive across in some of the conventionalize optic moment in the movie . "
All of this , McGinn adds , is an attempt to emphasise the way innovative society views disaster :
" What we found , editing the movie , is people make judgments based on how they feel and not on what in reality is . [ That ] influences how stories are told in the news and on social media . Living with this chronicle for so long , and living with the change that happened to these people in the typeface , allow us to get that and terminate up with a conversation that is bigger than this story itself . "
Amanda Knoxmight just carry some masses ’s opinion . Ultimately , though , mass ’s opinions of Knox have never been exactly convinced ( particularly in the U.K. media ) because of the style she seemingly welcomes the play beleaguer her case . As she say in the ' Suspect Her ' trailer:“Either I am a psychopath in sheep ’s habiliment , or I am you . "
Amanda Knoxarrives on Netflix on September 30th , 2016 .
