This crime-drama was directed by Wim Wenders. It was an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's novel Ripley's Game. Wenders was a massive fan of Highsmith and had always wanted to adapt one of her novels to film. It stars Dennis Hopper as Tom Ripley, an art dealer dealing in forged art, who pressurises a terminally ill picture framer into becoming an assassin. Mr. Sohal had this poster signed when he met Werner Herzog on the release of his film Lo and Behold at the London Film Festival. It is rare for anyone to have an original film poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs and video/dvd sleeves. It is unusual to have the film's poster with you when you try to obtain signatures.
