Capote
This is the story of Truman Capote, author of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, as he was researching and writing his last book, “In Cold Blood”. Capote develops a friendship and a close bond with one of the killers in the quadruple slayings of a Kansas family. Philip Seymour Hoffman gives a remarkable and complex portrayal of this peculiar, yet fascinating man. Alien enjoyed Hoffman’s performance, but didn’t care for the cold, slow-paced story.
Alien gives it 1 ½ “nonfiction novel” stars out of 4.
