The supporting cast is fantastic, especially Danial Craig as Perry Smith. He plays Perry like he is portrayed in the book - a wannabe intellectual with a damaged soul. The relationship between Capote and Smith bristles with sexual energy.

Sandra Bullock is the best she has ever been as Harper Lee and the cast of NYC socialites includes Sigourney Weaver, Peter Bogdonovich, Hope Davis and the lovely Isabella Rosalini.

Having come from Garden City, Kansas, this subject matter has always been close to the heart. My parents knew the Clutter family and always thought of Capote as "that nosey little fagot" who had no business making those killers look like real people. I grew up hating the man out of familial prejudice, but have since learned to love his work of brilliance In Cold Blood and this film plays closer to the book and shows Capote's process in a way that satisfied me even more than in Capote.

9/10
i definitely agree here as well. infamous was just more captivating than capote, in pretty much every way.

great review of inland empire, joshaube.
