Product Description
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."

PSH is amazing,

This review is from: Capote (DVD)
As a friend of mine said after seeing Capote, "That movie was ALL Philip Seymour Hoffman!" All the acting is great, but Hoffman carries the film. It's probably the best performance of his career.That being said, the script is great, the cinematography is stunning, and the characters evoke pathos. A really moving film.

This review is from: Capote (DVD)
I had read the book, so was interested in seeing the movie. I kept borrowing a copy from a family member, so when I found a copy to buy, I did.

Strange flick,
This review is from: Capote (DVD)
If the smarmy, monotonous, yawn-ridden cocktail party scenes won't hold your interest, the brilliantly portrayed emotional prostitution of Capote's prison visits definitely should. Remarkably little blood and gore, considering the plot is touched off by an entire family being shotgunned to death.Too bad the Harper Lee character isn't given more screen time.
