Capote is a 2005
about , following the events during the writing of Capote's non-fiction book .
won several awards, including the , for his critically acclaimed portrayal of the title character. The film was based on 's biography Capote and was directed by . It was filmed mostly in
in the autumn of 2004. It was released September 30, 2005, to coincide with Truman Capote's birthday.
At a farm in , a family friend discovers the dead bodies of four members of the Clutter family. While reading , the story of the Clutters rivets writer
(), who calls
magazine editor
() to tell him that he plans to document the tragedy.
Capote travels to Kansas, inviting childhood friend
() to come along. Capote intends to interview those involved with the victims, the Clutter family, with Lee as his go-between and facilitator. Alvin Dewey (), the Kansas Bureau of Investigation's lead detective on the case, brushes him off, but Dewey's wife Marie () is a fan of Capote's writing and persuades Dewey to invite Capote and Lee to their house for dinner.
Capote's stories of movie sets and film stars captivate Marie. Over time her husband warms up to Capote as well, and allows him to view the photographs of the victims. The Deweys, Lee, and Capote are having dinner when the murder suspects,
(), are caught. Flattery, bribery and a keen insight into the human condition facilitate Capote's visits to the prison where the accused are being held.
Capote begins to form an attachment to Smith. He informs Shawn of his intent to expand the story into a full-length book. Following the trial and conviction, Capote is able to gain continued access to the murderers by bribing Warden Marshall Krutch ().
Capote spends the following years regularly visiting Smith and learning about his life, excepting a year-long stint when Capote goes off to Morocco and Spain to write the "first three parts" of the book, accompanied by his romantic partner
The story of Smith's life, his remorseful manner, and emotional sincerity impress Capote, who becomes emotionally attached to him despite the gruesome murders. Capote aids Smith and Hickock by obtaining expert legal counsel for them and initiating an appeal. Still Capote is frustrated, as Smith declines to relate to him exactly what happened on the night of the murders.
Though initially an effort to provide proper representation and extend his opportunity to speak with the killers, the appeals process ends up dragging on for several years. Without the court case being resolved Capote feels he is stuck with a story without an ending, and he is unable to complete his book. Eventually Capote does get Smith to describe the killings and his thoughts at the time in great detail. Capote has what he was after from Smith, but in the process sees a callousness and selfishness in his own actions.
Now with everything in hand, he still must wait for the appeals process to conclude before he feels he can publish his work. He desperately wants the whole thing to finally be over. In the course of time Lee's best-selling novel
is turned into a movie, but Capote is unable to share in the joy of his friend's success, too caught up in drinking through his own misery.
With the last appeal rejected, Smith pleads for Capote to return before he is executed, but Capote cannot bring himself to do so. A telegram from Smith to Harper Lee ultimately compels Capote to return to Kansas. There Capote is an eyewitness as Smith and Hickock are executed, with Smith's hanging and Capote's shocked reaction being explicitly shown.
Capote talks to Lee about the horrifying experience and laments that he could not have done anything to stop it. She poignantly replies, "Maybe not. The fact is you didn't want to." The final scenes show Capote looking through photos from the case and at the writings and drawings given to him by Smith. An epilogue points out that In Cold Blood turned Capote into the most famous writer in America, also noting that he never finished another book.
