Truman Capote

We went to see the film"Truman Capote" (as it is called in France) this wet May Day weekend.
Philip Seymour Hoffman gave a great performance. His Capote was sensitive and manipulative at the same time and his voice, a kind of nasal high-pitched drone, never faltered.
There was no conflict in the film. All the characters respected each other's viewpoint and integrity. No voice was raised, no fights broke out. The criminals smiled at the journalist and shook hands with the sheriff. The journalist had quiet telephone conversations with his boss. The tone was so subdued that I can't remember clearly if the film was in colour or just shades of sepia. And these are my excuses for dozing off for 10 minutes two thirds of the way through.
