a truly phenomenal film

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2006)

As an ardent moviegoer I can recall few films in recent memory that jolted, moved and disturbed me as much as Capote. A veritable masterpiece that will remain with me for a long, long time! Do not miss this extraordinary experience. No sooner had I left the theater than I sought out anything and everything I could lay my hands on about Capote--and of course reread "In Cold Blood" for the third time. I would very much like to know the validity of the implication in the movie postscript that Capote's literary stutterings after the publication of his blockbuster derived from his intense ambivalence about his ruthless dedication to his novel and his empathy for the killer Perry Smith.
