Talented Mr. Ripley [WS] DVD Summary
After the Oscar-winning
The English Patient
, writer/director
Anthony Minghella
attempted another tricky literary adaptation with
The Talented Mr.
Ripley
, which features heartthrob
Matt Damon
cast against type as a psychopathic bisexual murderer.
Tom Ripley
(
Damon
) is a bright and charismatic sociopath who makes his way in mid-'50s New York City as a men's room attendant and sometimes pianist, though his real skill is in impersonating other people, forging handwriting, and running second-rate scams.
After being mistaken for a Princeton student,
Tom
meets the shipping tycoon father of
Dickie Greenleaf
(
Jude Law
), who has traveled to the coast of Italy, where he's living a carefree life with his father's money and his beautiful girlfriend,
Marge
(
Gwyneth Paltrow
).
Dickie
's father will pay
Ripley
1,000 dollars plus his expenses if he can persuade
Dickie
to return to America.
As
Ripley
and
Dickie
become friends,
Tom
finds himself both attracted to
Dickie
and envious of his life of pleasure.
In time, he decides that he would rather be
Dickie Greenleaf
than
Tom Ripley
, so rather than go back to his life of poverty,
Ripley
impulsively murders
Dickie
and assumes his identity.
The Talented Mr.
Ripley
was based on the first of a series of novels featuring
Tom Ripley
written by
Patricia Highsmith
; the story was previously filmed in 1960 as
Purple Noon
, with
Alain Delon
as
Ripley
.
