A Talent for Murder
What begins as a business visit quickly spirals into a sophisticated game of cat-and-mouse filled with psychological manipulation, sharp dialogue, and unexpected twists. Featuring a phenomenal Helen Mirren and an intriguing Alden Ehrenreich, A Talent for Murder (by Dutch director Anton Corbijn) is a gripping thriller about power, imagination, and the fine line between fiction and reality.
It is 1995. The reclusive Highsmith lives in seclusion in the Swiss Alps, surrounded by her books, cats, and a collection of antique weapons. When an ambitious young literary agent visits her with a request to write one more Tom Ripley novel, she flatly refuses. Unless he can work with her to devise the perfect murder…
The film is based on the 2014 play Switzerland.
