Ripley's Game – 35mm

“Led by a suitably slimy performance from John Malkovich, Ripley's Game brings Patricia Highsmith's bestselling sociopath brilliantly to life.”

Ripley’s Game (2002) stars John Malkovich as the anti-hero Tom Ripley, and is the third book in Patricia Highsmith's Ripley’s series. Ripley lives in a villa in the Veneto (in northern Italy) with his harpsichord-playing girlfriend. He’s an art connoisseur, master of soufflés and genius murderer. Three years after being involved in an art forgery, Ripley is contacted by a former business associate from Berlin who asks him for help killing a rival. Ripley’s plan is then to turn the innocent local picture framer Jonathan Trevanny into a hitman. He is a law-abiding citizen who is dying of leukaemia, and with little to leave his wife and son when he dies, he eventually agrees to the job as long as his family is provided for after his death. Will ripely manage to maintain control when Trevanny joins the game?
