What The English Patient Is About
Anthony Minghella's 1996 film follows a burned man cared for in an abandoned monastery in Italy. He will not say who he is. His memories take place in the desert. The film runs two time frames inside each other; the narrative keeps the war in the background, brings a forbidden affair forward and argues over what counts as betrayal. It is adapted from a novel. It won nine Academy Awards including best picture, with Juliette Binoche among the winners. Who it's for: those who like slow romantic drama. Who it's not for: viewers expecting a fast narrative; the film is long and deliberately unhurried.
