it made me feel as if I were there..

Rating: 9/10 (27 April 2006)

Usually I do not like movies which are slow-moving, however here is the exception I made for Capote. The entrance scenes lasting for some seconds, the girl waiting at the front door, making you wish you were the one to knock the door, the sounds of Capote's breathing. This slow-movement that I do not like usually, then is there to take you in. And then you are in the movie! The artificial modes of Capote then becomes the most natural thing ever. As if there is nothing on earth that this man cannot convince you to do. And the "sorrow" in Perry Smith's eyes. He seems somehow innocent. As a summary, the movie took me in, kept me there and has never lost. I visited Perry with Hoffman, I experienced the last breath, I felt almost in all scenes. Worth giving a try..
