Synopsis

Oscar®-nominated writer Douglas McGrath (Emma, Bullets Over Broadway) chronicles the story behind In Cold Blood, celebrated author Truman Capote's greatest work, a book that would bring him fame, respect and, ultimately, lead to his destruction--Infamous.

Early 1960s. Capote (Toby Jones--Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) travels to Kansas to research the cold-blooded murders of a local family. But what begins as an investigative journey with longtime friend Harper Lee (Sandra Bulluck--Crash), who was soon to publish the Pulitzer Prize-winning To Kill a Mockingbird, leads to something altogether darker when Capote develops an intense and complex relationship with one of the murderers (Daniel Craig--Munich).

Also featuring an all-star cast including Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis, Isabella Rossellini and Sigourney Weaver as some of the wealthy, famous and powerful people allured by Capote's genius and wit.

A far more textured rendition of the Capote investigation than "Capote" (2005). Great cameo appearances.

Sandra Bullock gives a wonderfully controlled performance as Capote's lifelong friend Harper Lee, who after the success of 'To Kill a Mockingbird' never published another novel and left New York to return to her childhood home in Alabama, where fate provided a much more congenial retreat from the limelight. 'Who knows what the heart wants,' she remarks sadly at the end of the film, 'and who can defend themselves against it?' And while the film treats its subject with a certain playfulness, reflected in a mostly cheerful and larky soundtrack, it is finally the story of a broken heart. The DVD has a very cogent and informative commentary by writer-director Douglas McGrath. Definitely worth watching, even if you've seen 'Capote.' Side by side, they demonstrate nicely Capote's own vision of truth as it's found in creative nonfiction.
