Ripley's Game
2002, 106 minutes, Rated MA
It's time to re-acquiant yourself with novelist Patricia Highsmith's most vivid and complex creation, sociopath Tom Ripley; But the tortured young man we met in "The Talented Mr Ripley" has matured into a far different beast - cool, urbane, impeccably stylish - now he only murders when it's truly necessary.
Ripley (John Malkovich) is discreetly living the life of luxury in Northern Italy - he has a wife, a career as an art dealer and all the trappings of success. But an old criminal business associate (Ray Winstone) is about to draw Ripley back into the game. And to carry off this latest assignment, Ripley will need an unwitting pawn - and Douglas Scott has just caught Ripley's cold stare. How Ripley turns a naive local family man who is dying of leukemia into an international assasin is testament to his powers of persuasion. Ripley may be older but his personality still cuts like a knife. Let the manipulation begin.
From Liliana Cavani, Director of the classic - The Night Porter comes a masterful, intense and elegantly a moral thriller where beauty and depravity are but a heart beat apart.
