A Ripley fan for years, I finally 'got' the title character when I read Highsmith's journals which were recently released. The series is more consistent with her world view. During her NYC days in the fifties, she had endless relationships, some with very wealthy women, that ended badly. Money was a constant worry for her and she grew to resent the people she hung around. She left the States to escape its homophobic atmosphere. The first Ripley novel which she wrote right before she left reflected her own repressed self loathing, but needed a male protagonist, or it likely couldn't have been published. The Price of Salt, which explored the difficulties of female relationships in the USA and showed a more empathetic side of the author was published under a pseudonym. Once the movie adaptation, Carol, hit the screen the novel finally got mainstream notice. The series captures the self-loathing more accurately while the film which I also loved took a lot of liberties with the text, still both were beautifully shot and acted.

I'm into psychology and did a fair amount of reading on psychopathy, narcissism and stuff. For me Scott has managed to do the almost impossible: portraying a full blown psychopath to perfection. Basically every trait I've read about those callous, sneaky but quite charming monsters comes through in his acting. I enjoyed every minute of it. The Minghella version is a completely different thing, though I liked that one, too.

Didnât even remember they were making a series about the story. The 1999 movie is the best adaptation thanks to its charismatic cast with Matt Damon in the title part, Jude Law as Dickie, Philip Seymour Hoffman & even Gwyneth Paltrow is good as Marge. Plus the late great Anthony Minghella had the right cinematic eye for the movie
