Synopsis
A first-rate, sumptuously photographed thriller, THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY features fantastic performances by its stars and supporting players, including a young Cate Blanchett and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Universally praised and awarded upon its release, its tense and criminally stylish thrills have only improved with age.
Matt Damon stars as Tom Ripley, a low-level schemer in 1950s New York. When Ripley is mistaken for a Princeton grad by a wealthy older man named Herbert Greenleaf, he goes along with the story and agrees to travel to Italy to persuade Greenleaf’s son Dickie (Jude Law) to return to America.
When he gets there, the lies come thick and fast as he becomes embroiled in the lives of Dickie and his fiancée Marge (Gwyneth Paltrow) who both live the life he so desires.
