Directed by Bennett Miller • 2005 • United States Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, Clifton Collins Jr.
In one of the all-time great movie performances, Philip Seymour Hoffman delivers an astonishingly inhabited, Academy Award–winning portrayal of Truman Capote, the legendary writer and singular cultural icon who leaves behind his Manhattan society set and travels to rural Kansas to research the shocking murder of a family for a new book that will ultimately become his true-crime landmark IN COLD BLOOD. Developing a complex, almost codependent relationship with one of the imprisoned murderers (Clifton Collins Jr.), the increasingly tortured Capote is plunged into an artistic and ethical crisis as he attempts to write the great book he believes destiny has handed him.
