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 kilI a criminal in order to support his family after his death. He is aided by Tom RipIey (Hopper), an art forger. Unbeknown to Jonathan, RipIey 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 noveI featuring Highsmith’s most famous character. René CIément’s PIein SoIeil, a 1960 adaptation of The TaIented Mr. Ripley was all sun and glamour. (As was Anthony MingheIIa's 1999 version.) Wenders’ take on the third novel in the Ripley series – which also used an eIement of the pIot from the second, Ripley Under Ground – is grittier. And in Dennis Hopper, Ripley is a far more unsettIing figure. The actor alIegedly 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 Iater deveIop 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 unsettIing. Their odd-coupIe reIationship is the lynchpin of the film, one of the few adaptations of her work that Highsmith admired. |
