## Description

During World War Two a badly-burned pilot, known only as 'the English patient' (Ralph Fiennes), is cared for in a Canadian military medical unit by nurse Hana (Juliette Binoche). As the dying patient's memory returns, he tells Hana his story - of how he embarked on a passionate affair with Katherine (Kristin Scott Thomas), the wife of one of his colleagues. Meanwhile, intelligence agent Caravaggio (Willem Dafoe) tells Hana that he suspects the English patient of being a spy for the Germans. This film won nine Oscars, including Best Picture.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Brilliant Romance/World War Two Movie. One of Ralph Fiennes best films.
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 January 2017*

I hadn't seen this movie for years and still only owned it on video. I read the reviews on amazon and this persuaded me to buy the blu ray over the dvd on what is a fairly old movie now. The blu ray picture is pretty good. Not one of the best, but on a decent 4k television it will upscale the picture and with an advanced picture setting it looks good. The sound is very good and displays the fantastic soundtrack of the film. There are some fine actors in this movie, Ralph Fiennes, Kristin Scott Thomas, Willem Dafoe, Juliette Binoche, Colin Firth and Naveen Andrews. Anthony Mingella was a brilliant director of this and The Talented Mr Ripley, and is sorely missed. It is one of the most beautifully filmed movies you will see, with a love story/affair, the Second World War in Africa, an engrossing plot and a first rate music score. I will certainly be watching this again soon. It scores on so many levels and is a classic.

    Still a Joy to Watch
  

*by C***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 January 2020*

Rewatching this film twenty plus years later I have to say it has aged remarkably well (probably helped by the fact that it's a period piece) and it's as much a joy to watch it now as it was then. Truly a masterpiece. Everything about it is beautiful: the pristine desert locations, the period sets and costumes, the writing, and of course the acting from all involved. To this day I can't decide which story line I like better, that of the Canadian nurse caring for the dying Count Almasy in Italy featuring the amazing Juliette Binoche in an Oscar winning performance or that of Almasy's passionate affair with the young married Englishwoman played by Kristin Scott Thomas. Ralph Fiennes is wonderful a Count Almasy, Colin Firth appears as Scott Thomas' husband. Great film all round and one that's worth revisiting every once in a while. Definitely not a bad one to add to your collection.The 2 DVD Special Edition I purchased has stubtitles for those who may need them and also includes a generous amount of bonus material, with some features more interesting than others. I particularly liked the director's commentary and also enjoyed the making of documentary and featurette about the real Count Almasy. For those who are interested here is the complete list of extras included:Disc 1:~~~ Feature Commentary with [director] Anthony Minghella~~~ 2nd Feature Commentary with Anthony and others [sic]Disc 2:~~~ Master Class With Anthony Minghella - Deleted Scenes~~~ CBC Documentary: The Making of the 'English Patient'~~~ About Michael Ondaatje [the author of the source novel]~~~ From Novel to Screenplay - Interviews with Cast and Crew~~~ The Formidable Saul Zaentz~~~ A Historical Look at the Real Count Almasy~~~ Filmmaker Conversations~~~The Work of Stuart Craig - Production Designer~~~ The Eyes of Phil Bray - Still Photographer

    in love with ghosts..
  

*by E***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 December 2016*

Anthony Minghella's masterpiece hypnotically draws you in on the first frame to the last, with composer Gabriel Yared's music and master cinematographer John Seale, A.C. S, creating a film that will live forever in the heart and soul of anyone who has seen it <3. Ralph Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas' characters are beautiful souls forever bound by love's eternal grace. Juliette Binoche is heartbreakingly human, vulnerable, dealing with constant loss, yet ultimately strengthened by all that she's experienced. An unsurpassed romantic masterpiece <3.
