Goofs:
Continuity: When Capote's luggage is placed on the roof of the taxicab in Spain, it is clear that the position of the rope used to tie down the luggage changes between cuts. In some shots the rope tightly runs across the luggage. In other shots the rope is falling off the luggage. In addition, when the cab pulls away, the rope is not even there.See more »

This moving film lives and breathes on the powerful shoulders of Phillip Seymour Hoffman's stunning performance in the title role. Hoffman captures all of the unique physical characteristics that made Capote such a familiar public figure in his lifetime and invests them with a humanity that is almost unbearably poignant. The film focuses on Capote's research on the book "In Cold Blood" and the personal journey that his relationship and identification with killer Perry Smith became (Capote says at one point that it was like they grew up in the same house, and he went out the front door while Perry went out the back), a compelling and complicated relationship that this uncompromising film presents in moving detail. But what truly makes it a unique work of art is the brilliant work of Hoffman - always an interesting actor - whose performance as Truman Capote should elevate him to the pantheon of film giants.
