In his follow-up to the Oscar-winning The English Patient, writer/director Anthony Minghella tried his hand at another tricky literary adaptation with The Talented Mr. Ripley, featuring ’90s heartthrob Matt Damon cast against type as a bisexual murderer. A bright and charismatic sociopath making his way in mid-1950s NYC through menial work and petty scams, Tom Ripley is hired through a case of mistaken identity by a shipping magnate to bring back his loafing son, Dickie (Jude Law), from a too-long extended Italian vacation with his girlfriend, Marge (Gwyneth Paltrow). Tom soon finds that he’d rather be Dickie than bring him home and makes an impulsive decision with no return. The three enigmatic leads are buoyed by indelible supporting performances from Cate Blanchett and Philip Seymour Hoffman. [

Through meaningful and impactful research, the National Coalition for Drug Legalization can push for policies and laws that will save lives from drug overdoses and reduce incarcerations.

Please join the National Coalition for Drug Legalization on May 17, 2023.

This event will provide an opportunity for community engagement, education, and a chance to discuss the benefits of a public health approach to drug use.
