The Talented Mr. Ripley brings you along and builds an almost palpable sense of panic and secrecy by it's climax. The film is very well acted and even though it is a very complicated script, it unfortunetalely does meander a bit... Full review

The film looks seductively, glamorously beautiful - but has a foreboding and even sinister undertow as Ripley becomes obsessed with the cult of personality - someone else's.
It's a deceptively dark film; it appears to be a romance of sorts, an adventure even, but is in fact a deadly morality tale with much to think about.

Minghella was in relatively good health and died of a brain hemorrhage after he had gone in for routine surgery last week.
Minghella loved music and made it a point to have at least a snippet of Bach in every film he made.
