this is the kind of film tha stays with you for a very long time. filled with lavish cinamatography and heart rendeing plot this film takes the viewer on a journey which leads them to question the ideals of society. the passionate beauty of egypt plays second only to the intensity of the affair ravaging the two prtagonists
The English Patient is a 1996 drama that is an adaptation of the novel by Michael Ondaatje. The film was directed by Anthony Minghella and won nine Academy Awards including Best Picture.
It is a beautiful film... Ralph Fiennes is mesmeric as Count Laszlo de Almásy, and
Kristin Scott Thomas is stunning as Katharine Clifton. Juliette Binoche does a terrific job as the military nurse Hana... heartbreaking, moving... beautiful...
the english patient is a very emotional and involving romance that has incredible landscapes and incredible performances by Ralph fieens, juliette Binoche and that guy naveen andrews who plays the iraqi guy on lost. not everyones cup of tea because of its slow pace and its content in general but one of minghellas best and worth a watch.
Sumptuously epic romantic melodrama set against a picturesque desert backdrop suffers from far too much epic sweep and not enough heart. It tells a story of supposedly intense passion but it is remarkably static. There is a strong cast, and it does look elegant but it has a hollow heart.
