pacing that matches the book

Rating: Null/10 (7 April 2004)

This movie moved slow, as did the book, but that is part of what makes it great. The characters the i love from the book adapted flawlessly to the screen. it was as if they were really the exact character i had formed in my head. I really enjoyed Binoche's Hana. i really think she deserved the academy award for her work. The rest of the cast was brilliant as well. Plus the cinematography was amazing, sheer brilliance. Minghella made a perfect film.
Minghella's newer film Cold Mountain pales in comparison to the English Patient. for The English Patient leaves you with a sense of passion.
