More than twenty years later, The Talented Mr. Ripley still gives off immaculate vibes. The linen clothing, the pasta, the Italian sun, it captured the dream of an endless summer in Italy. Set in the 1950s, the film looked like a holiday, even though the story itself took a much darker turn.
To be clear, we are not here to romanticise the events of the film. What we are looking at is the aesthetic, the mood, the locations, the clothes, the sun-drenched charm of vintage Italy, in particular Ischia, where Jude Law was sent prior to filming to learn the art of sailing and the finer life.
This is a look at that side of things. Behind the scenes photos that show Matt Damon, Jude Law, and Gwyneth Paltrow in the quiet moments between takes.
