The Capote Tapes

Using the tapes, animation, and new on-camera interviews with people who knew him, the film explores the impact of Capote's explosive unfinished novel "Answered Prayers."
Newly discovered interviews with friends of Truman Capote made by Paris Review co-founder George Plimpton invigorate this fascinating documentary on the author (and socialite) behind Breakfast at Tiffany’s and In Cold Blood, while situating Capote in the 20th-century American literary canon.
