Review of Infamous (2006) by Chas F — 04 May 2008

A very interesting counterpoint to Capote (with whom comparison cannot be avoided as they came out within a year of each other). It has colour throughout the film, showing Capote's flamboyant style that covers his dark self-involvement whereas Hoffman in Capote revelled in the character's flaws and only alluded to the New York social set.

This film ultimately is the worse of the two, going further than the other in exploring the Truman/Perry relationship but making it less affecting through its stylistic decisions.
