Nominated for Five Academy Awards in 1999, the Talented Mr Ripely was billed as one of the best films of that year. To be young and carefree amid the idyllic landscape of sun-drenched Italy in the late 1950s... that's la dolce vita Tom Ripley (Damon) craves - and Dickie Greenleaf (Law) leads. When Dickie's wealthy father asks Tom to bring his errant son back home to America, Dickie and his expatriate girlfriend, Marge Sherwood, (Paltrow) never suspect the dangerous extremes to which the talented Mr Ripley will go to make their lifestyle his own. Using his talents as an impersonator extraordinaire, and being a cunning opportunist, Ripley sets about taking over this extravagant man's life with devastating repercussions. Better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody. Based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith.
