Popcorn Culture - Throwback: The Talented Mr. Ripley

In anticipation of 'A Haunting in Venice', we rewind to 1999 for the critically acclaimed psychological thriller, The Talented Mr. Ripley. Tom Ripley (Matt Damon) travels to Venice to bring Dickie (Jude Law) back to America, only to get lost in Dickie's luxurious lifestyle. What follows is a story of obsession, greed and a serious case of stolen identity. We discuss the clever writing behind The Talented Mr. Ripley, the movie's stacked cast including Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jack Davenport, and the timelessness of a good thriller.
