Film Details
(139 R) 1999 United States Anthony Minghella, director
Opens Jul 13
This July at the Art Theatre of Long Beach, we’re proud to present MONDO ITALIA! A week of films set in and around Italy, spanning more than sixty years of travel, romance, memory, and menace beneath the Italian sun.
To be young and carefree amid the blue waters and idyllic landscape of sun-drenched Italy in the late 1950s; that's la dolce vita Tom Ripley (Matt Damon) craves- and Dickie Greenleaf (Jude Law) leads.
When Dickie's father asks Tom to bring his errant playboy son back home to America, Dickie and his beautiful expatriate girlfriend, Marge Sherwood (Gwyneth Paltrow), never suspect the dangerous extremes to which Ripley will go to make their lifestyle his own. Presented by Movies `N Books Club, with a moderated discussion lead by host Stefania Priestley after the film.
Book available locally at Bel Canto Books on Retro Row.
