In 1959, Truman Capote, a popular writer for The New Yorker, learns about the horrific and senseless murder of a family of four in Kansas.  Inspired by the story material, Capote and his partner, Harper Lee, travel to the town to research for an article. As he digs deeper into the story, he is inspired to expand the project into what would be his greatest work, "In Cold Blood". He arranges extensive interviews with the prisoners, especially Perry Smith, a quiet and articulate man with a troubled history. Capote feels some compassion for Perry, but that feeling deeply conflicts with his need for closure on his book, which only an execution can provide. That conflict and the mixed motives for both interviewer and subject make for a troubling experience and produce a literary account that re-defines modern non-fiction.

Hubert haughtily regards his mother with contempt, and only sees her
tacky sweaters and kitsch decorations. In addition to these irritating
surface details, there is also his parent's cherished mechanisms of
manipulation and guilt. Confused by this love/hate relationship that
obsesses him more and more each day, Hubert drifts through the mysteries
of adolescence - artistic discoveries, illicit experiences, the
opening-up to friendship, and ostracism. The turbulent relationship
between mother and son unfolds with a compelling combination of savage
fury and melting affection.



Hubert Minel n’aime pas sa mère. Du haut de ses 17 ans, il la jauge avec
mépris, ne voit que ses pulls ringards, sa décoration kitsch et les
miettes de pain qui se logent à la commissure de ses lèvres quand elle
mange bruyamment. Au-delà des irritantes surfaces, il y a aussi la
manipulation et la culpabilisation, mécanismes chers à sa génitrice.
Confus par cette relation amour/haine qui l’obsède un peu plus chaque
jour, Hubert vague dans les arcanes d’une adolescence à la fois
marginale et typique – découvertes artistiques, ouverture à l’amitié,
ostracisme, sexe – rongé par la hargne qu’il éprouve à l’égard d’une
femme qu’il aimait pourtant jadis.
