Striking Black & White Cinematography Inspired by Classic Novel
Shot by legendary cinematographer Robert Elswit, Ripley stands out with its bold choice to go black and white. Director Steven Zaillian revealed this artistic decision was inspired by the iconic monochrome cover of Patricia Highsmith’s novel The Talented Mr. Ripley.
A Dark Tale Set in 1960s New York
Set against the moody backdrop of early-60s New York, the show follows Scott’s character, Tom Ripley, a complex conman whose life spirals dangerously as he dives deeper into deception and crime. Though fictional, the story draws from Highsmith’s 1950s novel, sparked by a real-life encounter she once had.
