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."
