Plein Soleil - Engels ondertiteld
Restored film classic based on Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr Ripley, with Alain Delon in the role of the mysterious Tom Ripley and with music by Fellini’s composer of choice Nino Rota.
A rich American industrialist gives Tom Ripley the task of bringing his son Philippe home. Tom, also a former friend of Philippe, finds him in Italy enjoying himself with his mistress Marge Duval and with no intention of returning to the United States. Tom, thinking his mission to be over, takes advantage by taking a holiday with Philippe. What initially seems a carefree tale of friendship soon morphs into a thrilling saga of seduction, identity theft, and murder. Featuring gorgeous location photography of coastal Italy, Plein Soleil is crafted with a light touch that allows it to be at once suspenseful and erotic, and it made Alain Delon an instant star.
