8. filming the story

"Capote" is a 2005 film obviously about Capote,
following the events during the writing of Capote's
non-fiction book in the cold blood. 

When I first found out about its existance
I indeed was anxios to see it,
and hoped that this movie would live up to the expectations
and I wouldn't need to read a book, but watch only the film. But unfortunately this film is far from the plot of the book

In the film Truman Capote learns of the murder of a Kansas family
and decides to write a book about the case.
While researching for his novel,
Capote forms a relationship with one of the killers, Perry Smith, who is on death row.

 Richard Brook's film is nice and atmospheric.
The movie moves slowly but never loses its audience.
Philip Seymour Hoffman does not so much play Capote as become him.
Good fiilm. Highly recommend.
