Capote (2005 R) This biographical drama captures the "story behind the story". CAPOTE tells of how one event was destined to change the professional and personal life of novelist Truman Capote after the 1959 Halcomb, Kansas murders. Deciding to adapt material from the event for his next "great" novel, CAPOTE captures Truman's controversial lifestyle and his compelling persona as he attempts to convey the notorious Halcomb tragedy via his subversive literary masterpiece "In Cold Blood". In this deeply introspective film concepts of subjectivity and identity are toyed with via the candid moments between murderer and author that would lead to a breakthrough in the modern non-fiction novel. The cast includes: Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, Chris Cooper, and Clifton Collins Jr. Written by: Dan Futterman (screenplay) and Gerald Clarke (book). Directed by: Bennett Miller.
