Feud: Capote vs. the Swans Recap: Going Out of Style
Truman sparks up an old feud with Gore Vidal as he spirals further into his vices.
He wants to get tucked and plucked by his doctor (the better to look younger, as required by a rapidly-changing world obsessed with youth), wants to spend time writing Answered Prayers again, and even finds a way to be okay with Rick eventually leaving him, though not before being needlessly cruel about it. Director Gus Van Sant makes the moment all the more heartbreaking by intercutting it with the playful Easter bonnet anecdote Capote had been thinking about earlier with C.Z., a time when he and his swans could relish each other’s company into a fit of giggles while donning ridiculous hats. • Better read: “Jacqueline Susann looks like a truck driver in drag” or “her new love interest, Herbert Ross, has sucked more cocks than a deckhand on the Fire Island ferry come August” or maybe even the more innocuous sounding, “your tumbleweed of a girlfriend”?
