Despite one major and several minor deviations from the source material that will nag at devotees of Patricia Highsmith's The Talented Mr Ripley, this is a top-class French thriller with a more sociopathic, more conniving version of the impulsive Tom Ripley of the book and Anthony Minghella movie, but he is still exceeding lucky as he narrowly avoids detection in a murder investigation conducted across the exquisitely, luxuriously photographed sun-bleached coastal regions of Italy.
