René Clément

Director

René Clément (1913–1996) was a French film director known for films including Jeux interdits (Forbidden Games) and Plein Soleil (1960). His work spans postwar French cinema through the 1960s and beyond.

Plein Soleil (Italian: Delitto in pieno sole) is a 1960 film directed by René Clément, adapted from Patricia Highsmith's novel The Talented Mr. Ripley and starring Alain Delon. Jeux interdits (Forbidden Games, 1952) won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

The available review praises Alain Delon's performance in René Clément's 1960 Plein Soleil (Italian: Delitto in pieno sole), an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's The Talented Mr. Ripley. The reviewer considers Delon especially suited to ambiguous, magnetic roles and compares him favorably to later portrayals. The piece is reflective and centered on performance and adaptation.

For:Fans of classic French cinema, admirers of Alain Delon, readers interested in film adaptations of novels.

 Alain Delon’s interpretation is so commendable that it makes him the most suitable actor for roles of young and bold characters, as he will be in Visconti’s works, in addition to men of few words but characterized by a certain inner turmoil like the protagonist of "La prima notte di quiete."
