Beautifully shot, excitingly sexy, and poetically stimulating

Rating: Null/10 (31 October 2004)

I adored this beautiful film. I found the story line to be most exciting, especially the opening shot of Ralph Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas, which was meant to mislead you, or it would have given the story line away. The adulterous relationship of the two actors was extremely sexy and exciting,and acted with such great passion,you felt that it was damned from the start. I adored the flashbacks, which was timely, and unrushed. Like good wine not to be gulped down quickly. Marvelous direction. I was a little disappointed in the relationship between Hana and Kip, not quite understanding what his standoffish manner at the end was all about. Furthermore can anyone tell me, which would save me going through the film again,(Not that that would be a great chore!) when Almasy's lover and her husband crash the plane Did it crash into his own transport! I missed that. If you like the best...Go see it!
