Be Reel: 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' Turns 20 and the Con Man With A Thousand Faces

64 min • 26 december 2019

This week, Chance and Noah dare to ask a question posed by many conned, spurned and murdered Patricia Highsmith characters: "Who are you, Tom Ripley?" As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Anthony Minghella’s seminal Matt Damon vehicle "The Talented Mr. Ripley," we seek out the character’s origins in the acclaimed Highsmith novels and the many resulting film adaptations. In addition to the 1999 American hit, we're watching 1977's "The American Friend" (directed by the great Wim Wenders) and 2002's "Ripley's Game," starring John Malkovich. If you like your con artists with a side of sexual frustration and sun-soaked coasts, press play.
