Billionaire Robert Durst is not a lucky man. He has seen loved ones and people close to him die, many of them violently. But there’s a counternarrative. What if he’s who killed them? Longtime collaborators Smerling and Jarecki (Capturing the Friedmans) tackle one of the most sensational series of unsolved murders in recent history and craft a film that plays more like House of Cards than Unsolved Mysteries, with some of the most striking and thrilling re-creations ever staged. In doing so, they also pave the way—with a clear hat tip to The Staircase—for serious, episodic nonfiction programming. The Jinx rivets us, makes us gasp, and gives us new hope for longform nonfiction. T/F will bundle episodes 1 & 2 on Friday, episodes 3 & 4 on Saturday, and episode 5 on Sunday (leaving 6 as a cliffhanger to follow a week after the fest). (DW)
