			Capote Philip Seymour Hoffman, already hailed as one of our finest actors, delivers an astonishing performance as the infamous, mercurial, supremely gifted Truman Capote. Hoffman gets deep inside his subject — he gives us Capote’s gently insinuating manner; his burning curiosity; his mixture of flamboyance, fragility, and indifference; and, of course, his inimitable voice, halfway between a baby’s rasp and a little girl’s whisper. Bennett Miller’s beautifully modulated and utterly spellbinding film, from a script by Dan Futterman, takes place during a turning point in Capote‚s life and in American fiction. We begin with the author’s first trip to Kansas to meet Perry and Dick, the murderers of the Clutter family, and Miller takes us step by step through the painful, ultimately tragic story behind the writing of In Cold Blood. A searing inquiry into the ethics of artistic creation, Capote also features remarkable performances by Catherine Keener as Harper Lee, Chris Cooper as Alvin Dewey, and Clifton Collins, Jr. as the brilliant but hapless Perry. 114 min, USA, 2005 A Sony Pictures Classics Release. * Director and actors expected to attend.
