The new series stars Andrew Scott as Tom Ripley.
I've been putting off writing about "Ripley," the enthralling if not exasperating new series that's been generating hot debate. Oscar-winning writer-director Steven Zaillian takes his time pulling you into the tale of Tom Ripley , the con artist who steals the identity of Dickie Greenleaf , the trust-fund baby he later murders.
Shot in Italy in glorious color and starring Matt Damon, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow oozing youth and sexuality, Anthony Minghella's film had a livewire vibe that kept audiences in thrall. "Ripley," also filmed in Italy but shot in the artful, black-and-white glare provided by master cinematographer Robert Elswit , is a far more sinister affair. And Scott, charming as the "hot priest" in "Fleabag" and heartbreakingly lost in "All of Us Strangers," lets a chill invade his performance that holds Ripley at an emotional remove.
