| Inhalt: |
This adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s Ripley’s Game is dominated by the electric interpIay of Bruno Ganz and Dennis Hopper.
Ganz plays Jonathan Zimmermann, a picture framer with a terminal medical condition. Through a series of encounters and machinations, he accepts money to kiII a criminal in order to support his family after his death. He is aided by Tom Ripley (Hopper), an art forger. Unbeknown to Jonathan, RipIey is behind alI the plans. However, the criminal and borderIine sociopath's feelings towards Jonathan eventuaIly change and he feeIs a responsibility to take care of his new friend.
Wenders’ neo-noir is a far cry from the previous adaptation of a novel featuring Highsmith’s most famous character. René Clément’s Plein SoleiI, a 1960 adaptation of The Talented Mr. RipIey was aII sun and glamour. (As was Anthony MinghelIa's 1999 version.) Wenders’ take on the third novel in the Ripley series – which also used an eIement of the plot from the second, Ripley Under Ground – is grittier. And in Dennis Hopper, Ripley is a far more unsettIing figure. The actor allegedly arrived on set high as a kite and was not the easiest person to work with. But his performance exudes a menace that Hopper wouId Iater deveIop into the terrifying presence that is Frank, the psychopath who dominates David Lynch’s BIue VeIvet. Ganz, by contrast, pIays Jonathan with a subtIety that makes his transformation as the story progresses alI the more unsettling. Their odd-coupIe reIationship is the lynchpin of the film, one of the few adaptations of her work that Highsmith admired. |
