Directed by Bennett Miller and written by Dan Futterman, the film features outstanding performances by Academy Award nominee Catherine Keener (Being John Malkovich, The 40 Year Old Virgin) and Academy Award winner Chris Cooper (Adaptation, Seabiscuit). In November 1959 the shocking murder of a small town Kansas family captures the imagination of Truman Capote (Philip Seymour Hoffman), famed author of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. With his childhood friend, Harper Lee (Catherine Keener), writer of the soon-to-be-published To Kill a Mockingbird, Capote sets out to investigate, winning over the locals despite his flamboyant appearance and style. When he forms a bond with the killers and their execution date nears, the writing of In Cold Blood, a book that will change the course of American literature, takes a drastic toll on Capote, changing him in ways he never imagined. Stellar performances from Hoffman and Keener as well as prior Academy Award winner Chris Cooper (Adaptation) have critics calling Capote a “must-see movie.”Winner of the National Society of Film Critics Award for “Best Film,” Capote has been touted by many critics as a sure-fire Oscar nominee. Furthermore, the New York Film Critics honored Director Bennett Miller with an award for “Best First Film.” Capote is nominated for Four Independent Spirit Awards including “Best Feature” and “Best Lead Actor” (Hoffman). The film has been hailed as “Best Picture of the Year” by such renowned critics as Michael Phillips (Chicago Tribune), Richard Roeper (Chicago Sun-Times), Kenneth Turan (Los Angeles Times), Peter Travers (Rolling Stone), David Ansen (Newsweek) and The American Film Institute. The DVD of Capote will include a two-part making-of featurette, a documentary on Truman Capote and audio commentaries.Capote is available for pre-order at Amazon. As of yet, there is not a release date for the UK. Visit the DVD’s database for more information.
