The end of an era; the death of style: Alain Delon and Gena Rowlands

WHEN the demise of Alain Delon was announced, there was only one film that came out with his name and that was Purple Noon (Plein soleil in French). Released in 1960, it made Delon not only a star but a forbidden figure in all the dreams of women (and then suppressed, in the fantasies of many men). It had many titles, like Full Sun, Blazing Zun; Lust for Evil; and The Talented Mr. Ripley, the last from the title of the book written by Patricia Highsmith, on which the film had been based. And yet, when the film had a remake in 1999, with Anthony Minghella directing, only the cineastes spoke of its pedigree that went back to the splendid career of Alain Delon. It did not matter that its reincarnation was an all-star cast, with Matt Damon in the title role, and supported by Jude Law, Cate Blanchett, Gwyneth Paltrow and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
