Bill Hagen:
<<But perhaps it would've taken someone with the
sensibility and clout of a Hitchcock to perserve Highsmith's
Ripley in a major feature.>>
Hitchcock could have done it well, I'm sure. He sure was
cold-blooded enough. What I really would have liked is a
Ripley directed by the ascetic genius Robert Bresson, without
a single known actor and in black and white.
Please indulge me by not throwing tomatoes: for quite a long
time most new films I've seen have seemed like fast comfort
food for TV addicts. Unbearably loud, too. I'm glad I don't
review any more: it would be torture.
Regards,
