CapoteDirected by Bennett MillerScreenplay by Dan Futterman (based on the book by Gerald Clarke)USA / Canada, 2005 Watched on 10th February 2014First viewing I must admit I’ve yet to read any of Truman Capote’s work, but I had seen the 1967 film of In Cold Blood, which gave me some idea of the background to the story presented in Capote. It’s a fascinating, eminently watchable film with a beautifully subtle central performance by the sorely-missed Philip Seymour Hoffman. We see Capote’s flamboyant public persona, but also a more troubled, introspective private life – and the conflict between his personal attachment and concern for the murderers Perry Smith and Richard Hickock versus his need for In Cold Blood to end with their execution. It’s a film that lingers, and has certainly persuaded me to read Capote’s books. -- source link
