Neither good nor bad

Rating: Null/10 (14 February 2004)

For this film Anthony Minghella had an all star cast... Although it's not a bad movie, I think he missed the target.
Well, cinematography, landscapes and musical score are very good. But the main defect in Minghella's movies is that he loses himself in details, it's an affected style. The story is slow. No surprises (almost everything is foreseeable), not much rhythm. Luckily the second half of the movie is much better than the first.
Worth watching it, but quite disappointing.
