Truman Capote

[grouchyoscar]

Don't know if I should be here or movies but here goes.

I adored 'Capote' with Phillip Seymour Hoffman and I saw 'Infamous' last night which, knocks it into a cocked hat IMO Toby Jones is fantastic. Now it has re lit my fire for reading 'in cold blood' I intended to 10 years ago but life got in the way.

Life will again so I'm wondering if I could those of you who have read it, do these films bear any real true insight to the book itself?

Shame Toby Jones isn't up for an Oscar...2 back to back Capotes!

I hit Capote's Wikipedia entry yesterday. Very informative. However, with that huge biblography of work, where do you suggest I start?

BTW what's your feelings on Andy Warhol? I think you might like 'Factory Girl' about Edie Sedgewick. I'm amazed that any films regarding AW seem to avoid mentioning The Velvet Undergroud. Odd that. (Big VU fans at Grouchy Towers, DS even has some VU songs on his bedtime CD)
