ho letto molti anni fa "A sangue freddo" ed è davvero un libro sconvolgente, e si capisce che dopo Truman Capote non sia più riuscito a scrivere altri libri.
il film è concentrato su questo episodio decisivo della vita di Truman Capote, è un film straordinario, e solo dopo averlo visto si capisce perché Philip Seymour Hoffman ha meritato l'Oscar e perché manca così tanto al cinema (e a noi).
è un film da non perdere, spesso doloroso, a tratti quasi insostenibile, ma qui dentro c'è il Cinema - Ismaele
…Il rigore della sceneggiatura di
Dan Futterman, andamento in lenta progressione non esente da prolissità, trova
un felice connubio con lo stile asciutto di Miller, che con un racconto così forte
e stratificato lascia che siano i personaggi e gli interpreti il centro della
sua visione. In particolare, davvero sorprendente la prova di Philip Seymour
Hoffman (meritato Oscar per la Migliore interpretazione maschile), che più che alla
somiglianza fisica, punta con sobrietà alla messa a nudo di un’anima.

…Poco hay más que decir de Capote, excepto
que es una muestra notable de lo que ocurre cuando se conjugan adecuadamente
todos los elementos necesarios: una historia atractiva y avasalladora,
actuaciones de primera, un guión logrado con estupendos diálogos, un actor
principal que hace del personaje titular una auténtica creación y finalmente,
un trabajo de dirección respetuoso que resulta en una cinta magistral, y tan
memorable como el linaje literario que la precede.

…Capote is a deep movie with rich veins to mine. The lead character
is not likeable. He is a user who exploits his relationship with Perry for
personal gain. At the beginning, he doesn't know what it will ultimately cost
him. As the movie develops, we see the complex love-and-hate association with
Perry and how this results in the slow erosion of Capote's personality. The
brilliance of Bennett's movie is that it concentrates on the characters and
their interaction and never becomes a mouthpiece for one side or the other with
respect to the death penalty. It would have been easy to turn Capote into a polemic, but Bennett resists
the urge.
Although I had a
stronger connection with Capote on an intellectual level than on an
emotional level (I never came close to shedding a tear), the experience stayed
with me for some time. That's unusual for something I see for the first time in
the midst of a film festival. (In this case, Toronto.) Normally, movies falling
into a mid-day slot leave a minimal aftertaste before being washed away by the
next feature, but not this one. Capote is strong medicine that will demand
recognition at next year's Oscars.

…The movie "In
Cold Blood" had no speaking role for Capote, who in a sense stood behind
the camera with the director. If "Capote" had simply flipped the coin
and told the story of the Clutter murders from Capote's point of view, it might
have been a good movie, but what makes it so powerful is that it looks with
merciless perception at Capote's moral disintegration.
"If I leave
here without understanding you," Capote tells Perry Smith during one of
many visits to his cell, "the world will see you as a monster. I don't
want that." He is able to persuade Smith and Hickock to tell him what
happened on the night of the murders. He learns heartbreaking details, such as
that they "put a different pillow under the boy's head just to shoot
him." Capote tells them he will support their appeals and help them find
another lawyer. He betrays them. Smith eventually understands that, and accepts
his fate. "Two weeks, and finito," he tells Capote as his execution
draws near. Another good line for the book.
