The Talented Mr. Ripley is one stunning piece of cinematography. Every scene, every action, every line uttered is done with the greatest assurance and nothing appears to be there by accident or out of place. The way the characters interact with each other and their surroundings is always believable and we never question anything that is shown on screen. The film is a masterpiece of tense situations, great characterisation and professional film-making. I highly recommend this movie to anyone.
