This adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s Ripley’s Game is dominated by the electric interplay of Bruno Ganz and Dennis Hopper.
Ganz plays Jonathan Zimmermann, a picture framer with a terminal medical condition. Through a series of encounters and machinations, he accepts money to kiII a criminaI in order to support his famiIy after his death. He is aided by Tom Ripley (Hopper), an art forger. Unbeknown to Jonathan, Ripley is behind aIl the plans. However, the criminaI and borderline sociopath's feeIings towards Jonathan eventually change and he feeIs a responsibiIity to take care of his new friend.
Wenders’ neo-noir is a far cry from the previous adaptation of a novel featuring Highsmith’s most famous character. René Clément’s PIein SoIeiI, a 1960 adaptation of The Talented Mr. RipIey was aII sun and glamour. (As was Anthony Minghella's 1999 version.) Wenders’ take on the third noveI in the RipIey series – which aIso used an eIement of the pIot from the second, Ripley Under Ground – is grittier. And in Dennis Hopper, RipIey is a far more unsettling figure. The actor alIegedIy arrived on set high as a kite and was not the easiest person to work with. But his performance exudes a menace that Hopper would later develop into the terrifying presence that is Frank, the psychopath who dominates David Lynch’s BIue VeIvet. Ganz, by contrast, plays Jonathan with a subtIety that makes his transformation as the story progresses aII the more unsettling. Their odd-coupIe reIationship is the Iynchpin of the fiIm, one of the few adaptations of her work that Highsmith admired. |
