- A gem of a psychological thriller, with Alain Delon and Marie Laforet in top form, Rene Clement's French version of Patricia Highsmith's noir novel is far superior to Minghella's 1999 remake.

Alain Delon was at his most impossibly beautiful when Purple Noon was released and made him an instant star. This ripe, colorful adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s vicious novel The Talented Mr. Ripley, directed by the versatile René Clément, stars Delon as Tom Ripley, a duplicitous American charmer in Rome on a mission to bring his privileged, dev...
René Clément’s Purple Nooncomes to Blu-ray through Criterion in its original aspect ratio of 1.66:1 on this dual-layer disc. It is being presented in a new 1080p/24hz high-definition transfer. It has a somewhat oversaturated look to it that I think is intended, but even if that’s not the case I still feel we’re being gifted with an exceptionally st...
The disc supplies a lossless French linear PCM 1.0 mono track. There isn’t much to it in the way of range but it’s a clean track, delivering clean dialogue and music with very little distortion. It’s also free of any damage and background noise. A track suiting to the film.

The weakest may be the 27-minute interview with Denitza Bantcheva on René Clément if only because of her delivery. Looking to never make eye contact with anyone interviewing her she talks about how Clément got ...
The supplements are decent if unspectacular, but it’s the transfer that is the real reason to get this disc. The film looks exceptional and on that basis alone the disc comes with a strong recommendation. BUY AT:

Dec 15, 2020 · Delon is playing Tom Ripley and the film is Purple Noon (Plein Soleil), René Clément’s 1960 adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley. His Ripley is a hollow man, so void of morals and personality that he subsumes those around him whose lives he thinks are more desirable.
Jan 10, 2014 · With Purple Noon, a sleek 1960 French adaptation of Ripley’s debut potboiler, director René Clément adroitly transposes this analogy from literature to cinema. Here, the protagonist’s antisocial artistry ushers him from the humble realm of spectatorship into the more exalted stance of film directorship.
