Sky Arte marks Truman Capote centenary with documentary 'The Capote Tapes'

Sky Arte is commemorating the centenary of Truman Capote's birth with the documentary 'The Capote Tapes', airing on Monday, September 30. Born on September 30, 1924, in New Orleans, Capote was a versatile writer and intellectual known for major works such as 'In Cold Blood' and 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. The documentary, directed by Ebs Burnough, focuses on the unfinished novel 'Answered Prayers', which led to his personal and professional decline. It features testimonies, audio recordings, and interviews to explore Capote's lucid, chameleonic, and controversial character. Capote died in 1984. The film also touches on his screenwriting for 'Terminal Station' directed by Vittorio de Sica and the iconic adaptation of 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' starring Audrey Hepburn.
