"Andrew Scott's Spellbinding Performance in 'Ripley': A Masterful Art House Thriller"
TL;DR Summary
"Ripley," a new Netflix series based on Patricia Highsmith's novel "The Talented Mr. Ripley," takes a different approach by presenting the story in sharply etched black and white, offering a chilly art house aesthetic. Directed by Steven Zaillian and starring Andrew Scott, the show follows the cunning grifter Tom Ripley as he becomes obsessed with the lives of Dickie Greenleaf and Marge Sherwood in 1961 Italy, blurring the lines between befriending, sponging off, and becoming Dickie.
