The Talented Mr. Ripley is more of a case study than a film.
The talent of the film comes from the performances and the book that manages to contextualize different layers, whether through drama, identity or appeal to social layers. In this sense, I like what the film delivers and even manages to explore the nuances of the film and its key moments. However, it lacks something more important - cinema. Can you imagine this script with Safdie Brothers? I believe it has a lot to do with the production and direction aspects. The production delivers a lot and the direction helps. After all, Anthony Minghella seems to me to be a guy more interested in theater than cinema, something that is revealed in his filmography.
