The Talented Mr Ripley
Synopsis
To be young and rich in sun-drenched Italy. That's the life Tom Ripley (Matt Damon) craves - and Dickie Greenleaf (Jude Law) leads. A young man with no direction of his own, Ripley has been commissioned by Dickie's wealthy father to journey to Italy and persuade the prodigal playboy to return home to America.
However, on arrival Ripley is instantly captivated with Dickie's charmed existence: the Amalfi villa, the jaunts to Rome, the first class hotels, and the beautiful expatriate (Gwyneth Paltrow) who completes the triangle. Dickie is amused by his new acquaintance - never suspecting the dangerous extremes to which Ripley will go to make this lifestyle his own.
