Sinopsis(1)
Ser feliz y despreocupado en las idílicas y azules aguas de la soleada costa italiana de los años 50, es la dolce vita que ansía Tom Ripley, y que vive un joven y rico playboy llamado Dickie. Cuando el padre de Dickie, un adinerado constructor de barcos, le pide a Tom que traiga a su hijo de regreso a los Estados Unidos, Dickie y su bella novia Marge, no sospechan los peligrosos extremos a los que Tom está dispuesto a llegar para apoderarse de su estilo de vida.

Un mosaico de psicología finamente preciso y un cine formal tan sobrio que echa por la borda las posibilidades de ser apreciado plenamente por un público más amplio. Una obra maestra del arte que hay que ver con el «tercer ojo».

An utterly brilliant retro psycho-thriller. Matt Damon literally excels in the role of Tom Ripley, every look and gesture of his brings a chill. The script relies a little too much on coincidences perhaps (Italy and Rome aren’t that small for the protagonists to constantly run into each other), but the elegance with which Ripley gets out from all sorts of critical situations will be admirable to anyone who has ever started a chain reaction of lies (though obviously not as serious as in this film) – here where the script is superb. Another proof of how extraordinary this film is the fact that, even though I had nobody to root for, I watched all those 140 minutes without blinking.

Probably the best adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's famous novel. The great atmosphere of post-war Italy, an excellent cast (Damon, Paltrow, Law, and last but not least Blanchett in a small role), and an unusual theme. Nothing to fault it for.

An unconventional Hollywood thriller that it’s great in terms of images and content, but just too detached and cold for me. I like pure emotions from Anthony Minghella, he works very well with them – in other films.

An incredibly refined spectacle in both form and content. Minghella makes the most out of a great premise, perfectly developing the character of the unstable hero and his approach puts so much power in Damon's hands that he is able, with a single look and a single action, to put the viewer firmly in the seat and force them to watch his literally despicable actions until the end without blinking. The excellent retro atmosphere and the backdrop of sunny Italy decorate the already superb production design, whose gradual fluidity and more than chilling build-up is, in my opinion, an example of brilliant filmmaking. Everything is crowned by the actors, who, even in the supporting roles, are completely unmissable and unique. Matt Damon is excellent in every move and gesture, though he may still be outdone in the first half by the phenomenal Jude Law. The ending may be too drawn out, but the final twist hits with such force and elegance that there is nothing to object to. With a day's hindsight, I add a fifth star, which is the only one that sufficiently describes the maturity of the film within FilmBooster.
