'Capote' all about the Truman Show
At the heart of "Capote" is Hoffman's fascinating interpretation of an iconoclast who carries enough curious mannerisms to carry a small museum. Sure, the actor has the outward signs of Capote down pat - the pale features, the high-pitched, whiny baby voice - but his performance goes farther than that. Even while holding court at parties with New York's elite, Hoffman plays him like a wounded animal whose acerbic wit barely masks his own insecurities.
