This screening will be introduced by The Cinema Obsessive.
Tom Ripley tells lies as casually as breathing. Forging signatures, changing accents, smashing skulls, there’s nothing he won’t do to get what he wants. And what he wants is to be Dickie Greenleaf, a self-indulgent, carefree, and very wealthy young man he ‘befriends’ in Italy.
Patricia Highsmith’s timeless text is adapted masterfully by director Anthony Minghella, who takes us into a luscious yet lurid psychological thriller where obsession, lust, and betrayal take centre stage.
