Ripley,Monochrome,Moodiness

A comparison between the monochrome moodiness of the book 'Ripley' and the 1999 movie version, highlighting the use of Italian eau de cologne from Santa Maria Novella as a telling detail.

. Its monochrome moodiness makes it closer to the book than the gorgeous sunlit 1999 Anthony Minghella-directed movie version ., there’s a telling detail, beyond the beautiful suits and chic cigarette cases, that brings the mood and setting to life – and that makes us want to wear Italian eau de cologne. In both screen versions, when Dickie buys Marge’s favourite perfume for her, it is shown to be from the legendary Florentine pharmacy Santa Maria Novella, with its distinctive bottle and crest.

Though the dream is to plan a visit: obviously the Florence store is the ultimate, but there are outposts in London, too , and Paris . The eau de cologne may be a small detail, but it offers an olfactory fix of Ripley’s dark glamour.
