Wim Wenders, 1977, West Germany, 125 minutes, Certificate 15

In keeping with his earlier Road Movie trilogy, Wim Wenders' interpretation of Patricia Highsmith once again seamlessly blends American and European traditions in this exquisite thriller-cum-existential character study. Dennis Hopper excels as enigmatic sociopath Tom Ripley, in a film which both serves as a homage to film noir's mixed parentage and takes the genre to new heights.
