    lovely

    The sort of adaptation preserving the entire flavor of novel. As an imersion in the atmosphere and colors and sensitivity of splendid novel of Truman Capote. The basic pillar - the performances. And the love for recreate a lost world in each detail. Great and delicate. Precise and wise calculated adaptation, hommage to a way to discover life and to the true magic.
