Oscar Gold Awaits!

Rating: 10/10 (6 November 2005)

Capote is a MUST see film for any film lover. Look for Philip Seymour Hoffman as Truman Capote,to receive an Oscar, with nominations for Cathrine Keener as Harper Lee and Clifton Collins Jr. as Perry Smith. Fine performances by Chris Cooper and Bob Balaban in two thankless roles as the lead investigator and Capote's publisher, respectively. This film instills tension throughout by the use of taut direction and a wonderfully realized screenplay by Dan Futterman (actor in TV's "Judging Amy"--a fine actor, but a truly talented writer). Futterman will be remembered at Oscar time as well, I believe. This film will be one of my choices next spring for my DVD collection...
