Capote

Bennett Miller · 2005 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

A New York writer reads a wire item about a Kansas farm family shot in their house and goes out with a childhood friend to report it, charming the lead investigator into access. In a Kansas cell he finds one of the two accused men and starts four years of visits, letters and withheld help, gathering a book he cannot finish while the appeals continue. Hoffman's Oscar set the tone for a decade of writer biopics.
