although i generally do not like remake believe that remake be waste of time while this film be an exception . i do not actually know so far until read the previous comment that this be a remake and so my opinion be purely about the actual film and not a comparison . the story and the way it be write be no question represent it be capote . there be no need for more word . the play of anthony edward and eric robert be superb . i have see some movie with them and each in one or the other . i be certain that they be good actor and in case of eric i always wonder why his sister be the number 1 famous star and not her brother . this time this certainty be raise to fact and no question . his play and just as well a the play of mr. edward be clearly the top of all their profession . i recommend this film to be on your top 50 film to see and keep on your dvd shelf .
