Classy picture set in the 1950s Italy. Tom Ripley (Matt Damon) is convinced to travel to Italy by a wealthy ship-owner and persuade his son, Dickie (Jude Law), to come back to America, however, Ripley isn't ecxacltly what he seems to be.
The late '50s. New York lavatory attendant Tom Ripley (Damon) may not be conventionally talented, but he's very able when it comes to reacting on the spot, especially with little white lies. When shipbuilder Herbert Greenleaf assumes he's an old college pal of his son Dickie (Law), Ripley's quick to snap up the opportunity to visit Europe, purportedly to lure the playboy home, but actually to sample la dolce vita for himself. But, having wormed his way into the affections of Dickie and his girlfriend Marge (Paltrow), he can't face losing his new-found life of leisure. Minghella's imaginative but mostly faithful adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's classic study of a sociopathic killer is a class act, in every sense. Not only is it an elegantly polished affair, with top notch performances all round, and magnificent camerawork and editing, it's also acutely aware of how class, money and sex shape desire and resentment, and of the distinctions between presenting a facade to the world, outright pretence and the more radical practice of reinventing oneself. It's into these registers that Minghella weaves the most intriguing and ironic undertones.Read full review
For anybody looking for a film with a little something different and absolutely bags of class then .... LOOK NO FURTHER! This is without doubt a truely spell binding film with a story that doesn't waiver and a cast and crew that doesn't falter, i cannot praise it enough, don't watch or read anything about it before you watch it ....just watch it and let it absorb you!!
