Wow, that looks so stunning! I already enjoyed the BW Film 'Vivement Dimanche' by François Truffaut in honour of Alfred Hitchcock. The criticism about the pace is typically US. The US pace was very well parodied 1988 by Rick Mayall in the episode 'California here we come' of The New Statesman, as the Hollywood producer that invited him to his party only had an attention span of 30 seconds. European films, especially art films, tend to have a slower pace.

I've watched Ripley twice already, and I'm watching it for a 3rd time now. Each time I watch it I discover something new. As everyone is saying here in the comments, the series is a photography masterclass. I was blown away from the very first scene, and kept talking and talking about it to anyone who would listen. A masterpiece. I envied the man who went around Italy and New York looking for places and frames to shoot from. Amazing.

@barryknell3745 29 дней назад

A brilliant bit of filming where every scene is lit and posed not just as a fleeting piece of video but as if it was a photograph to be seen in its own right. The black and white isolates the action so that there are no colourful distractions. So, apart from the acting and the plot, this is worth watching for the photography alone.

@jazzysnaps 11 дней назад

This is a lesson on black and white and composition, absolutely stunning and should be mandatory viewing for all students in the arts, also film makers definitely need to benchmark this masterpiece as an example of outstanding set up of lighting ,how some of the takes were lit what lens were used etc are worthy of discussion.

@brucemcclelland904 28 дней назад

Not only is the show a master class in lighting and set design, but as someone who’s read Highsmith’s novels and screenplays (e.g. Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train), and seen the prior versions of the Ripley saga, I believe this by far best captures the tension and spirit of her tightly crafted fiction (Highsmith wrote a treatise called. Plotting Suspense Fiction). Not only the choice of B&W, but Italy and New York in the early 60s are brilliant mise-en-scene (even though 1961 is a few years after the original story - a great choice because Italy was becoming a style capital, including cars (great shot of a Ferrari in front of a hotel, btw).

Sensational cinematography that was a pleasure to watch. I almost want to watch it again without sound. As far as the pace of the film - I feel it perfectly matched the deliberate pace of Tom's transition into Dickie. Modern viewers tend to be too eager for fast action. Ripley, on the other hand, required the viewer to be involved and to pay attention. Thanks for this video, and for the Nosforatu reference. I missed that.

I was riveted and binged right through, starting on the day it was released a month or so ago! The photography was incredible in all shots indoors and out. The references to Caravaggio and Leica seal the deal, that this is a film that's as much about writing with light as it is the the story it tells, superb in all aspects.

@fernandosocorro4175 29 дней назад

Brava. Agree with everything you pointed out about Ripley. Have to say, I find it interesting (and amusing) that the director and DP used B&W because they "did not want to create a pretty travelogue," yet that is exactly what they did, but with much thought provoking weight. Also, maybe it was just me, but I felt en Escher-ness in most of the staircase, elevator, and hallway scenes.

@dirksparenberg294 28 дней назад

Dear Tatiana, thanks a lot for your thoughts and outstanding presentation of the series. I totally agree that this movie is photographed so well!!! I think with lighting and mood all in b&w works so well together with slowness of the film and the absence of dialogs for ~10 minutes or more. This makes it really shine and transport the mood so perfect - although one has to get into it. But if you do so, you are torn into, i believe. However, I think Ripley is not a true "Doppelgänger" as if so he would need to look like Dicky (at least this is the German meaning of it). Ripley is copieing Dicky's behavior and rather has taken over his identity, and that way Ripley is doing something that is more known today through the internet: he has stolen his identity, although today there is no need to murder someone to do so. Thanks again, and please keep moving triggering us.

The only problem I have is I've watched the Alain Delon Version (Purple Noon 1960) which is just a legendary cinematic piece. His portrayal of the character was legendary & can't be matched to the point where the novel's author said: "I truly loved how Delon mastered every single aspect about the character exactly how I imagined him while writing, & ended the quote saying I hope no on ever try to re-create the movie, because no one will be able to match the mastery Delon brought to the screen". Of course the novel is so great so hollywood did a remake called The Talented Mr. Ripley 1999 as you said & now this TV Show Ripley 2024! Many film critics say that although the author Patricia Highsmith sadly passed in 1995, still they say she was lucky that she never saw the other movies after she saw Delon portrayal of her character. May she Rest in Peace! I never saw any of the remakes! But after watching your video I think I will watch the show as I'm a photographer & cinematographer too! I loved your video! BTW, if anyone never seen Purple Noon 1960, I highly recommend it! It is a master piece in acting, directing, cinematography, locations, fashion & style. Also, It is one of my favorite movies when it comes to COLOR GRADING + AMAZING SOUNND TRACK by a master too Nino Rota (Who composed many epic film scores like 'The God Father' & many other films).

For me the most inspiring video media that could have most of its film frames printed and presented as fine art is the 2024 film Cabrini. I was surprised with the composition and use of shadows/light in many scenes. Even some simple sequences that would of normally have been done simpler, but the director chose to do a behind and elevated shot of two people talking in a grass field to show the vast expanse of the scene and invoke more emotion of the characters struggles. And the scenes using the lantern light and light filtering in from doorways was just simply the most beautiful cinema scenes i have maybe seen.

Agreed! You out perfectly talented and disturbed!

I was set not to like this; just had that uncomfortable feeling with the way it's adapted. But wow, was I in for a surprise. It's magnificent. The way every single frame is a work of art guarantees that this series will be the recipient of numerous awards. I had the same initial feeling about "Road to Perdition" and left the theater convinced I didn't like the movie but I kept thinking about it as the weeks passed. I asked myself later, if I didn't like it why am I still thinking about it? It was the cinematography of Conrad Hall. Every frame was a work of art. I watched it twice more. Absolutely anything I can see by Ripley's cinematographer (and Boogie Nights) Robert Elswit will be a must see. The play off Caravaggio's "noir" use of light contrasts blend beautifully into the overall effect.

Yes, do please make a video about Caravaggio and how his artwork can be used to teach photographers how to improve their craft.

Thanks for the video. I truly enjoyed it. I loved the series Ripley. The photography was excellent. I actually found myself shooting my own frames with my cell phone while watching it. I was particularly fascinated by the Cameras that featured in many of the scenes and captured them with my cell phone it reminded me of the movie eyes wide shut with the Christmas tree that appeared in almost every scene not to mention the cat that kept an eye on everything😂 and please do the video on Caravaggio Warm Regards from South Africa 💫

Another vote for Caravaggio, I’ll definitely work on it. Thanks for watching and for sharing your thoughts about it. Greetings to South Africa! ✨

Nice video - Caravaggio and Hopper are perhaps my biggest artistic photographic influences … and when talking about the The Ripley interpretations … don’t forget Saltburn, the parallels are startling!! Also beautiful cinematography, though complete contrast to the stunning work in Ripley … two big shout outs … one for that beautiful old Leica and the other, for the ‘cat’ … beautifully filmed and of course, who knows just about everything!! 😊

Thank you for watching Robin! Yes Saltburn has parallels I really liked it but I didn’t want to mention it because I’m planning a video where I’ll touch properly on it. :)

Yes! Please make the video about Caravaggio! I'm a huge fan of his lighting with chiaroscuro :=)

Working on it :)

One of the series would recommend for wonderful compositional framing is Penny Dreadful. On another note Ripley producers must have had a copies of Silvia Di Paolo books and the great example of Italian post war photography, Strada:Italian Street Photography. These were Photographers who were working at the time that Ripley is set.

Good video you did here. There's a lot to say about tv series. For example, in the 1999 film 'The Talented Mr. Ripley', star Matt Damon looked like the 'guy or neighbor next door'. Someone you would naively invite into your home, a wolf in sheep's clothing. As with Jack Nicholson in 'The Shining', Andrew Scott looks sinister from the beginning of the series. As for 'Ripley's' cinematography, director Steven Zaillian and cinematographer Robert Elswit must have been influenced by such films as; 'Touch Of Evil', 'Psycho' (not the remake), 'The Good German' and 'The Third Man' in order to capture the period look of 'Ripley'. You should study the prints of Russian photographer Aleksandr Rodchenko, encouraging artists and photographers to create an image from a different perspective, from above, from below, through a window or a wine glass. To break away from the rifleman's viewpoint many photographers and painters often take. Keep up the good work.

Your videos are such a breeze of fresh air in this RU-vid world where all have the same style of making videos. PLEASE do make the video on Caravaggio, I’d love to know more about his technique and what you have to say ❤

@TatianaHopper 28 дней назад

Perfect I’m looking forward for a video on Caravaggio! Thank you for watching and for the feedback 🙏🏻

@helenc1943 25 дней назад

Thank you for your comments. You say that you were pleased to see “that Netflix is embracing different and highly styalised content like this”. The series was made by Showtime and Netflix picked it up for a song when Paramount took over Showtime. And yes it is brilliant in every way.

@TatianaHopper 24 дня назад

That explains it! Still the fact that Netflix picked it up and aired it is a very good point. I wish they could do more or pick up more content like this, it’s always positive!

The pictures in this series blew me away...and I've shot B&W since 1969. The quality of the cinematography in this series is reminiscent of Doctor Zhivago from 1965...I know...not B&W, but none the less mind blowing imagery. I very much hope that creator Steven Zaillian, and cinematographer Robert Elswit are recognized for their outstanding achievement. I plan on watching it again....
