Trivia
This is Matt Damon's favorite film of those he has made.

Errores
When Tom talks to Marge after he returned home from San Remo, the cover of a Miles Davis LP is visible in the background. It's the cover sleeve of "Tutu" which was released in 1986. However, the movie is set in 1958.

Citas
Tom Ripley: I always thought it would be better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody.

Créditos curiosos
The opening title uses all the adjectives of the complete title before cutting to the final "The Talented Mr. Ripley."

Perfect sense of dread

Tom Ripley (Matt Damon) is a struggling lower class bathroom attendant in 1950s Manhattan. He's mistaken for being in the world of the super wealthy when an upper crust man hires Tom to retrieve his wayward son Dickie Greenleaf (Jude Law) from Italy for $1000. He finds Dickie with his girlfriend Marge Sherwood (Gwyneth Paltrow) and is lured into the world of the leisure class. When Dickie gets tired of Tom, Tom does the unthinkable and uses his underhanded skills to hang on.

Director/writer Anthony Minghella has instilled a sense of dread and foreboding. The acting is top notch with the most important coming from Matt Damon and Jude Law. There are honorable mentions to Philip Seymour Hoffman, Gwyneth Paltrow and Cate Blanchett. I do wish they play up Tom Ripley's homosexual side with Dickie and intensify the creepiness. Other than that, this movie has the perfect tone and sense of doom. It is such a perverse movie that you almost root for the conniving Tom Ripley.
