I caught this ditty by chance and was I glad I did. It is a film written and acted suited to my tastes. Jonathan Penner was captivating within his mannerisms, gorgeous to look at and a pleasure to see him act. Plot is grand. Everything else too. I am not giving much more away, solely my two opinions, aforementioned and the last: RENT IT if you find it.

Since the day I went to see the film, it has not left my head. Being a writer, I was greatly intimidated. I was taken by the performances, the beauty of the city, the music... I was undeniably taken. It is hard to find another film that could hold semblance to the magic of Mr. Ripley. It is a disturbing and rather intense work of art. Especially that of the actors. I would dare say that if one sits and grasps the film dialogue and the images, they have to consider the fearful display of emotion, ignorance, love, hate, etc.. This film delves into the heart of that nature and if one does not find semblance to reality itself, one has destroyed the sensitivity of truth to emotion itself. This film is not for the faint-hearted and confused. It is to analyze yet make one think. It has to for what is the intention behind film. I shall not impose but I feel all should consider watching the film yet I find so many throwing rocks already. Maybe it is only a frightening realization deep within, of how there is a bit of Mr. Ripley in all of us. A being who feels they don't belong. By and by the film does deserve its awards, irony put aside.
