subject of the film (how great and influential the book was) than the depiction of the events leading to it.
If you had read my opinion, it criticized the screenplay. I found the direction wanting, as well.
Hoffman nailed an imersonation of Capote, the Capote one saw on talk shows and interviews, but never went beyond it. Capote didn't speak always at the same pace or act similarly. He had a public persona which carefully he nurtured. Hoffman never took us deeper.
This film reminds me of Pollack, a year or so ago. All the clichés about the artist are presented, over and over.
"Highly charges"? I saw nothing of the sort. Capote was a 1000-watt personality here reduced to a Bic lighter.
