Featured review
Capote: his own glorious, brilliant, and tragic character
This was a good idea to conduct the interviews both on audio tape and video and then turn it into a movie (documentary). Relevant photos, clippings, and such are displayed during the audio recordings. The interviews really do add to the depth and breadth of perceptions of the person of Truman Capote. Interviews include Dick Cavett, Lauren Bacall, and many others; in fact several segments of Cavett's and Johnny Carson's interviews of Truman are shown. ... Intriguing. ... The film is well done and excellently curated.
// As is well-known, near the end of his life (and of the film) Truman basically undermines himself and then gradually self-destructs. (As an aside, from having seen the 'authentic' and well-done film of Truman's life, "Capote," this documentary, "The Capote Tapes" confirms that the movie (with Philip Seymour Hoffman as Truman), "Capote," is highly on-point and accurate.)
You learn about aspects and significant persons in Truman's life that you might not have known about at all. Also, seeing this much more fully explained the early end to Truman Capote's life. // A few stars missing from the stars-rating since it perhaps could have been a two- or three-part limited series to be even more comprehensive and in-depth.
