Is this not the same story as "The Talented Mr. Ripley" with Matt Damon?
Follow Ups:
Barely recognizable but Matt Damon's Ripley was at least likable.
I think unlikeable was the reaction they were looking for...and succeeded.
Same original author
So.....is this better or ny different than the Damon version?
The book has been made into a few movies. This is the latest adaptation of the story. The Matt Damon/Jude Law version was good but not at all like this one. For one, this has 8 episodes, so almost 8 hours to stretch out and cover details. This is in high definition black and white, giving a whole different feel to the story, one that seems suited to the late 1950s setting. And the character is imagined quite differently...he is older, more seasoned, very well played here as a sort of mysterious guy attracted to the thrill of risks as much as the rewards. I really liked this particular version.
Watched Ep 2 last night. Quite different in many ways from the Damon version. I like it! The music and singing really adds to the attractiveness of this.
I haven't seen the Damon version in 15 years.
Ripley is more cinemagraphic with more character development. As much as I liked TTMR, Ripley is more satisfying but at the same time slower paced. The murder scenes are very detailed; sort of like Hitchcock.
It is a classic in film.
