Genre: Drama/Crime
Starring: Catherine Keener, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Clifton Collins Jr.
A very touching story, true to say. Two murderers guilty of murdering a Kansas family are sentenced to death. Famous novelist Truman Capote (Hoffman) wants to write a book on the murders and that fateful night. He ends up becoming extremely close to Perry Smith (Collins Jr.) one of the convicts of the murder. Capote knows that Perry will not talk about the fateful night so easily, and he tries to get close to him, hoping that he would open up one day. Capote's friend and fellow novelist Harper Lee (Keener) doesn't approve of the methods Capote is trying to apply in order to extract the information. Truman Capote was often considered a homosexual person, and Hoffman has done a brilliant piece of acting by bringing that feature out. The movie takes you inside the thought process of a novelist and the mixed feelings and emotion he goes through while trying to write a tragic tale.
Rating: 7.5/10
