The 1999 movie of Patricia Highsmith's novel, The Talented Mr Ripley, left you wanting more of the 反対／詐欺 artist character at its centre.

始める，決める in sunny Italy but filmed in 黒人／ボイコット and white, the series has much more space to give us a 一連の会議、交渉／完成するd portrait of Ripley, to the extent that you may even find yourself sympathising with him 早期に on: he's ripped off by an Italian taxi driver and trudges around the country, unable to speak the language, 猛烈に looking for his ticket to a better life.?
You see a lot of his struggle, in short - perhaps a little too much for some tastes. Still, it scarcely 事柄s as Scott is, of course, brilliant in the lead. The character of Ripley is a mimic and Scott, as an actor, is fantastic at that - when he starts to copy Dickie it's genuinely unsettling and weirdly 正確な, にもかかわらず the fact that Scott looks nothing like Flynn. And that 業績／成果 is 許すd to stand 大部分は on its own, with no fancy 削減（する）s and barely any background music. Flynn and Fanning are both excellent too, and Fanning in particular does a lot with a look. But this is Scott's show, and 正確に，正当に so. (Eight episodes)?
