On Friday, 15 November, Mountbatten Isle of Wight will host 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 will start at 6pm, when refreshments will be served and guests will be welcomed to the John Cheverton Centre, in Newport. There will be a presentation at 6.30pm, followed by a screening of the movie, at 7.10pm.

Mountbatten Isle of Wight provides 24/7 expert care to patients in their own homes and in our hospice in Newport, alongside services including bereavement support, for anyone who needs it.

One-third funded by the NHS, this allowance has not risen in line with inflation and is under threat. Increasingly, Mountbatten Isle of Wight relies on the two thirds of its funding from the community, including amazing events like these.
