Bio:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Highsmith

The Two Faces of January (2014)

A con artist, his wife, and a stranger flee Athens after one of them is caught up in the death of a private detective.

Solid Highsmith adaptation with a touch of Hitchcock, nice settings and a good cast for the complicated mindgame play.

Carol (2015)

An aspiring photographer develops an intimate relationship with an older woman.

Highly exquisite adapation of Patricia Highsmith's lesbian love story achieves an intimate perspective from within a fragile relationship and awes with some Saul Leiter-inspired cinematography.

First Lines: Patricia Highsmith - The Talented Mr. Ripley

Tom glanced behind him and saw the man coming out of the Green Cage, heading his way.

First Lines: Patricia Highsmith - Strangers on a Train

The train tore along with an angry, irregular rhythm.

Le cri du hibou (1987)

aka
The Cry of the Owl
Der Schrei der Eule West Germany




A young man is recovering from a divorce and falls for a neighbour's wife which leads him into the depths of a conspiracy.

Competent adaptation of a Patricia Highsmith novel delving deep into a moral swamp of passion, hate and insanity.
