In August this year, we lost one of cinema’s most beautiful – and complicated – actors, Alain Delon. We pay tribute to him with special screenings of one of his most essential roles, as Patricia Highsmith’s charming psychopath in René Clément’s 1960 adaptation of The Talented Mr Ripley.
Delon stars as Tom Ripley, a young American who travels to Europe on an all-expenses-paid mission to convince his friend, the charismatic Philippe Greenleaf, to return to the US at the request of his parents.
