The English Patient (1996)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col 162m
Director: Anthony Minghella
Cast: Ralph Fiennes, Kristin Scott-Thomas, Willem Dafoe, Juliette Binoche

Synopsis:

As World War Two draws to an end, a burns victim in a field hospital gradually reveals his tale of woe to the nurse looking after him.

Review:

An ever so elegiac and beautiful ode to doomed love, this undeniably indulgent film manages to sustain its fragile atmosphere over a considerable running time, helped by first-rate cast and technicians. More than ever, this was where quality cinema seemed to be heading in the 1990s, before a new irony and realism set in.
