On Friday, 15 November, Mountbatten Isle of Wight is hosting an exclusive screening of Anthony Minghella's The Talented Mr Ripley, which stars Matt Damon.

In this 1999 classic, which was nominated for five Academy Awards, Damon plays Tom Ripley, a con artist tasked with bringing a rich playboy from Italy to New York. Gwyneth Paltrow and Cate Blanchett also feature.

For his part in the movie, Jude Law won a BAFTA. 

This very special evening starts at 6pm, when refreshments will be served, and guests will be welcomed to the John Cheverton Centre.

There will be a presentation at 6.30pm, followed by a screening of the movie, at 7.10pm. 

The event is raising vital funds for Mountbatten, supporting Islanders 24/7 with expert care, in their homes and in our hospice in Newport.

These are challenging times and your donation will help us maintain our much-needed services. Thank you!
