Product Description:
In November, 1959, the shocking murder of a smalltown Kansas family captures the imagination of Truman Capote (Philip Seymour Hoffman), famed author of Breakfast at Tiffany's. With his childhood friend Harper Lee (Catherine Keener), writer of the soon-to-be published To Kill a Mockingbird, Capote sets out to investigate, winning over the locals despite his flamboyant appearance and style. When he forms a bond with the killers and their execution date nears, the writing of "In Cold Blood," a book that will change the course of American literature, takes a drastic toll on Capote, changing him in ways he never imagined. Stellar performances from Hoffman and Keener, as well as Academy Award® winner Chris Cooper (Adaptation) are why critics are calling Capote a "must-see movie."
Customer Reviews:
3 stars out of 4, 2008-12-21
The Bottom Line:
Capote avoids the typical structure of a biopic and is all the better for it, eschewing formula to tell the story of one central episode in the main character's life; the film will be more interesting and accessible to those who have read/seen In Cold Blood, but it's nonetheless a worthy film.
