'Capote' tickets up for grabs
We've got 150 tickets to give away for a very special screening of the award-winning film.
Feb 3 2006
This year, the best actor Oscar contest looks to be a three horse race between Heath Ledger for 'Brokeback Mountain', Joaquin Phoenix for 'Walk the Line' and Philip Seymour Hoffman for 'Capote'. And if I were a betting man, I'd be putting the TO film site's budget on Hoffman, whose portrayal of literary giant Truman Capote is quite simply stunning.
The film itself follows Capote as he travels to Holcomb, Kansas to investigate the brutal slayings of the Clutter family for the New Yorker. Once there, the author examines the impact the murders have had on the small town, and soon becomes personally involved in the plight of Perry Smith, one of the accused killers.
Together with Sony Picture Classics, Time Out is giving you the chance to see this brilliant film before it goes on general release on February 24.
We have 150 tickets for a preview on Mon, Feb 20 at 6.30pm at Cineworld Shaftesbury Avenue.
Simply send a first class SAE, marked 'Capote' to Time Out Online, 251 Tottenham Court Rd, London W1T 7AB by Feb 14. The first 75 readers picked at random will get a pair of tickets.
