Synopsis: Academy Award®-winning writer-director Bill Condon (GODS AND MONSTERS) turns the microscope on Alfred Kinsey in a drama that is at once a portrait of a man driven to uncover the most private... Academy Award®-winning writer-director Bill Condon (GODS AND MONSTERS) turns the microscope on Alfred Kinsey in a drama that is at once a portrait of a man driven to uncover the most private secrets of the nation, and a journey into the mystery of human behavior. Liam Neeson stars as Kinsey, who in 1948 irrevocably changed American culture and created a media sensation with his book Sexual Behavior in the Human Male. Asking thousands of people about the most intimate aspects of their lives, Kinsey lifted the weight of doubt and shame from a society in which sex was hidden, and knowledge was dangerous. His work sparked one of the most intense cultural debates of the past century – a debate that rages on today. Created by a remarkable roster of talent both in front of and behind the camera, the all-star cast of KINSEY includes Oscar® nominee Liam Neeson (SCHINDLER’S LIST), Oscar-nominated Laura Linney (YOU CAN COUNT ON ME), Golden Globe® nominee Chris O’Donnell (SCENT OF A WOMAN), Golden Globe-nominated Peter Sarsgaard (SHATTERED GLASS), Oscar winner Timothy Hutton (ORDINARY PEOPLE), Oscar nominee John Lithgow (TERMS OF ENDEARMENT), Emmy®-nominated Tim Curry ("Tales from the Crypt"), Emmy nominee Oliver Platt ("The West Wing") and National Board of Review Winner Dylan Baker (HAPPINESS). The behind-the-scenes team on KINSEY includes Director of Photography Frederick Elmes, who has shot many of acclaimed director Ang Lee’s films including THE HULK and THE ICE STORM, and David Lynch’s films including BLUE VELVET, for which he received numerous awards including the National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Cinematography, and WILD AT HEART, which won the Cannes Film Festival Palme D’Or and an Independent Spirit Award. Production Designer Richard Sherman re-joins Condon following their collaboration on GODS AND MONSTERS, as well as several other films. Editor Virginia Katz rejoins Condon for a seventh time, following her work on GODS AND MONSTERS and CANDYMAN: FAREWELL TO THE FLESH. KINSEY is a Fox Searchlight and Qwerty Films presentation in association with Myriad Pictures of a N1 European Film Produktions-GmbH + CO.KG and Pretty Pictures production. Gail Mutrux (NURSE BETTY, DONNIE BRASCO) produces and executive producers are Michael Kuhn (THE ORDER, BEING JOHN MALKOVICH) of Qwerty Films, Oscar-winning writer/director Francis Ford Coppola (THE GODFATHER series, PATTON) and Bobby Rock (JEEPERS CREEPERS II, EVE’S BAYOU) of American Zoetrope, and Kirk D’Amico (TRAUMA, THE GOOD GIRL) of Myriad.
