The English Patient Movie Review:


After being nominated for 12 Oscars it won 9 and I suppose it deserved some of the acclaim that it received. The story is adapted from Michael Ondaatje's novel and is about a Hungarian Count, Laszlo Almasy (Ralph Fiennes) who has been badly disfigured by fire and now temporarily resides in a Tuscan monastery where Hana the nurse (Juliette Binoche) looks after him as the second world war continues all around them. Here he reflects on the pre-war affair that he had with the wife of one of his comrades (Kristin Scott Thomas) with the story constantly changing between the two times as the film progresses. A thouroughly enjoyable film.
