Plot

1959 Manhattan was a party, and none of the glitterati glittered brighter than Truman Capote. Then he saw a story in The New York Times: "Wealthy Farmer, 3 of Family Slain" and the party ended for Capote. He plunged into the murder case that inspired his great non-fiction novel 'In Cold Blood' and led him into a strange and impassioned relationship with one of the two killers. 'Infamous' is a fine re-imagining of events and if not for Seymour Hoffman's mesmerising performance in the very similar Capote' it would no doubt have garnered far more interest than it has.
