A Talent for Murder

Directed by Anton Corbijn from Joanna Murray-Smith’s stage thriller Switzerland, this cinematic adaptation arrives on screens at Burns Court Cinema under the banner of Regal Cinemas. Helen Mirren portrays reclusive psychological novelist Patricia Highsmith, holed up in her secluded Swiss alpine home, while Alden Ehrenreich plays a persistent young emissary sent by her New York publishing house. Tasked with coercing the ailing, acerbic author into writing one final Tom Ripley installment, their intellectual standoff spirals into a sinister game of cat and mouse.
