Ripley

BERTRAND PICARD rated ★ 7/10
Après alain DELON et Matt DAMON , Andrew SCOTT reprend le rôle de Tom RIPLEY .. les 8 épisodes ( Netflix ) se vivent comme un voyage contemplatif à travers l’Italie . Thriller filmé en noir et blanc à la Hitchcock où le récit est d’une grande cohérence avec des personnages disséqués patiemment mais au final la satisfaction esthétique l’emporte donc sur le suspense.
Synopsis
A grifter named Ripley living in New York during the 1960s is hired by a wealthy man to begin a complex life of deceit, fraud and murder.
