Review of Infamous (2006) by Caroline P — 06 Jan 2008
Released almost exactly one year after the initial showings of Bennett Miller's Capote, which earned Phillip Seymour Hoffman an Oscar for his role as Truman Capote, the film Infamous covers much of the same ground yet also depicts Capote in New York before he began work on his most popular book In Cold Blood.
Infamous is more like a collection of testimonials about Capote from his best friends, which makes this movie interesting to watch. All the actors and cast are totally great. Sandra Bullock did a good potrayal as Harper Lee, Capote's best friend.
If you have watched Capote and losing a reason to watch Infamous, then make Daniel Craig as the reason to watch this one. Craig performance as Perry Smith is absolutely unusual Breathtaking! As I haven't watch Capote yet, surely I can't compare and decide which one is better.
But I'm so sure that even if you already have watched Capote, you will find it hard to consider Infamous as a "not a better" version of a retteling of a chapter in Truman Capote's life.
