About
A sumptuous, sun-drenched adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel, The Talented Mr Ripley is a gripping tale of mid-century deception and duplicity. Tom Ripley (Matt Damon) is hired by a wealthy shipping magnate to travel to Italy to convince his pleasure-seeking son Dickie (Jude Law) to return to America. Upon arrival, however, the conniving Ripley integrates himself into the lives of Dickie and his girlfriend Marge (Gwenyth Paltrow) in a scheme that grows ever more dangerous – and deadly. In this intoxicating and sartorially resplendent thriller, the sweat and sunshine of seaside Italy is captured with aplomb by the covetous cinematography of John Seale.
