Review of Infamous (2006) by Papaya L — 09 Jun 2007
This was good, between the two movies (Capote and Infamous) I will say that I liked Capote a bit better. This version takes the relationship between one of the murderers (Perry) and Capote to a whole new level that was only guessed at and never confirmed to be so by Capote.
Their gay attraction (rather than relationship) was suggested in Capote - but it was implied to have been actually so in Infamous - and I think that was probably taking a lot of artistic liberties and drawing on heresay.
Toby Jones's version of Capote was not as spot on as was done in Capote by Phillip Seymore-Hoffman where he nailed it. I remember Capote and saw him interviewed many times, Toby Jones does a good impersonation, but he was positively channeled by Seymore-Hoffman in Capote.
I did like Sandra Bullock's version of Harper Lee better who was Capote's life long friend (and who wrote To Kill a Mockingbird).
