Great love story and wonderful photography

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2002)

This turned out to be one of my favorite movies. The photography and acting are first rate in my books. The DVD said it was recorded in 2:35 aspect ratio, but I was glad to see that this must have been an error, because it was a 1:85 ratio which I like the best. It is a beautiful love story told in a series of flashbacks, interspersed throughout the movie. Kristin Scott Thomas is very attractive and always looked so fresh looking with beautiful clothes in this movie. I love Ralph Fiennes. He is such an attractive with those piercing, outstanding eyes. Juliette Binoche is very likeable in her part as the sympathetic nurse. Keep a few hankies handy. I would like to have seen some extras on the DVD, such as a bit about the making of the movie, interviews, etc. but there were no extras. It had English sub titles for the hard of hearing which can be useful at times even if you are not hard of hearing. I watched the DVD version.
