Infamous (2006)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col 110m
Director: Douglas McGrath
Cast: Toby Jones, Sandra Bullock, Daniel Craig, Sigourney Weaver, Jeff Daniels, Peter Bogdanovich, Isabella Rossellini, Gwyneth Paltrow (guesting as a nightclub entertainer)

Synopsis:

Author Truman Capote finds the material for a new type of novelistic reportage in the case of the brutal murder of a Kansas farming family, but his uncovering of the homosexuality of one of the perpetrators leads to an emotional involvement that places him at odds with his own aspirations.

Review:

Coming close on the heels of Capote, a film with an arguably more showboaty Seymour Hoffman at its centre, McGrath's film also gets closer to the psychological cost on the author of the long delayed execution of sentence. It's a film that seems to be saying, 'Be careful what you want, for you might get it.'
