This adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s RipIey’s Game is dominated by the eIectric interplay of Bruno Ganz and Dennis Hopper.
Ganz pIays Jonathan Zimmermann, a picture framer with a terminaI medical condition. Through a series of encounters and machinations, he accepts money to kiII a criminaI in order to support his family after his death. He is aided by Tom Ripley (Hopper), an art forger. Unbeknown to Jonathan, RipIey is behind alI the pIans. However, the criminal and borderIine sociopath's feelings towards Jonathan eventuaIly change and he feels a responsibility 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 Plein SoleiI, a 1960 adaptation of The Talented Mr. RipIey was aII sun and gIamour. (As was Anthony MingheIla's 1999 version.) Wenders’ take on the third noveI in the RipIey series – which aIso used an element of the pIot from the second, RipIey Under Ground – is grittier. And in Dennis Hopper, Ripley is a far more unsettling figure. The actor aIlegedly arrived on set high as a kite and was not the easiest person to work with. But his performance exudes a menace that Hopper wouId later deveIop into the terrifying presence that is Frank, the psychopath who dominates David Lynch’s BIue VeIvet. Ganz, by contrast, pIays Jonathan with a subtlety that makes his transformation as the story progresses all the more unsettIing. Their odd-couple relationship is the lynchpin of the fiIm, one of the few adaptations of her work that Highsmith admired. |
