🎬 A Summer SUNDAY CINEMA PICK! The Talented Mr

🎬 A Summer SUNDAY CINEMA PICK!

The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)
Directed by Anthony Minghella

Set against the sun-drenched backdrop of 1950s Italy, The Talented Mr. Ripley is as visually seductive as it is psychologically unsettling. Adapted from Patricia Highsmith’s novel, it follows the chameleon-like Tom Ripley—played with eerie precision by Matt Damon—as he slips deeper into envy, deception, and stolen identity.

Minghella’s version isn’t the first: Purple Noon (1960), with Alain Delon, brought Ripley to the screen decades earlier. But this rendition lingers—its jazz-filled nights, lavish boat rides, and haunting performances unravel a moral abyss cloaked in beauty.

🎥Come for the slow dolce vita—stay for the unraveling.
Did you know? The production filmed on location in Ischia, Procida, Venice, and Rome, with the island of Ischia standing in for the fictional Mongibello.

In this week’s edition of ESCAPE Interviews, we join Canadian-born creative director and sculptor Alex Merrell on a spontaneous road trip to southern Italy—where red drinks, sea urchin pasta, and open-air discotecas become portals to something richer.

Based between Los Angeles and Italy, Alex moves fluidly between disciplines—bridging strategy and sculpture, storytelling and space. But it’s on the road that she feels most alive: waking to cliffside views, diving into the Ionian Sea, and dancing under Puglian stars with Pink Floyd on the speakers and prosecco in hand.

“I love travel for its capacity to deepen our perspective and connection—with ourselves, other cultures, and the human experience in general,” she reflects.

What she finds in Puglia is timeless: beauty, balance, and a reconnection to joy—through art, friendship, and the scent of sun-warmed salt and stone.
