Netflixs Patricia Highsmith adaptation goes full on noir.
Hes not even especially talented or not at this point anyway.
Yet all episodes of this show are as black and white as the storyisnt…
It drapes the show in noirish vibes and highlights the sinister side of the cities.
But shooting Italy in monochrome does a bit of a disservice to the views.
Greenleafs life doesnt feel as idyllic and aspirational as it does in the Minghella version.
And it just doesnt look much fun.
This is a complaint that could be leveled at the series as a whole.
Ripley is available to stream on Netflix now.
