Review of In Cold Blood (1967) by Pierluigi P — 12 Dec 2008
Truman Capote's haunting literary classic gets a masterful transfer to the screen.
Richard Brooks' carefully thought out writing and direction makes tangible everything the author expressed in his bestseller.
A geometrically precise setup, supported by the dense and murky atmosphere of Quincy Jones' jazzy score and Conrad Hall's magnificent cinematography.
Robert Blake also borders perfection with his eerie, mild-mannered and strangely sympathetic characterization of the tragic Perry Smith.
