poiler alert. There’s a chillingly memorable scene in an episode of Ripley—the strikingly cinematic 2024 Netflix series based on Patricia Highsmith’s 1955 novel The Talented Mr Ripley—in which the titular character drives desperately along a deserted road on a moonlit night. The body of the man he just murdered in an apartment in Rome is slumped in the passenger seat of his Fiat 500.
So far, so noir.
