纽约灾星是一部纪录片,犯罪片，罗伯特·杜斯特（Robert A. Durst）这位纽约的房地产家族后裔在美国新奥尔良被捕。当地执法官员称杜斯特涉嫌15年前发生在洛杉矶的一起谋杀案。 事实上，多年以来杜斯特一直身处舆论的漩涡之中。1982年他的第一任妻子莫名消失，2000年他的密友在洛杉矶被杀害，案件 至今悬而未决。 2001年，住在德克萨斯的杜斯特邻居被射杀并且遭肢解。这一系列围绕着杜斯特的谜团，引起了HBO导演的兴趣。
A groundbreaking six-part documentary directed and produced by Andrew Jarecki and produced and shot by Marc Smerling (the Oscar nominated behind "Capturing the Friedmans (2003)") delves into the strange history of real estate heir Robert Durst, long suspected in the still-unsolved 1982 disappearance of his wife as well as the subsequent murders of family friend Susan Berman and neighbor Morris Black. It features an extended, revealing interview with Durst himself, with whom Jarecki developed a unique relationship following the release of "All Good Things (2010)", Jarecki's 2010 feature about Durst's life starring Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst. "The Jinx" results from nearly a decade of research by the filmmakers, who expose police files, key witnesses, never-before-seen footage, private prison recordings, and thousands of pages of formerly hidden documents.
一句话评论：富二代鞠躬，富二代杀人。快乐的有钱人没有格调。豪门一入深似海。还能如何逍遥法外。期待后续才是重点。Robert Durst的前世今生（据说标题要醒目）。不在场和不应在场的正义。最冷的记录片。纽约灾星——Bob只是造成雪崩的最后一片雪花。人的一生更加五味杂陈，冷暖自知。
