520 _aThe article focuses on the way the same factual reality (the city of Savannah, its inhabitants, a famous murder trial) is dealt with in Midnight in The Garden of Good and Evil, the book by John Berendt and the movie by Clint Eastwood. The two works present different points of view on the American South while creating different Souths; the movie 'Southernizes'? Berendt's approach to Savannah and its world, in particular through the use of Gothic and grotesque elements. Therefore, ' Midnight the movie'? (as Eastwood puts it) should be seen as more than a filmic adaptation of a book, and engages in what Richard Gray calls the 'process of writing the South'?.
