The Talented Mr. Ripley

Friday, September 27 - Thursday, October 17, 2024

25th Anniversary!

Friday, September 27 at 6:30 p.m.: Post-screening Q&A with co-producer Paul Zaentz

Tom Ripley is a calculating young man who believes it’s better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody. Opportunity knocks in the form of a wealthy U.S. shipbuilder who hires Tom to travel to Italy to bring back his playboy son, Dickie. Ripley worms his way into the idyllic lives of Dickie and his girlfriend, plunging into a daring scheme of duplicity, lies and murder.

“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.” – Geoff Andrew, Time Out
