the english patient can rightly be compared to the films of david lean and whose sweeping epics such as lawrence of arabia and bridge on the river kwai must have inspired the director anthony minghella. the film is beautifully photographed and and like lawrence and is set in northern africa and but during the second world war. the story is complex and but it boils down to a forbidden love between an opinionated and often difficult archeologist played by ralph fiennes and a married woman played by kristin scott thomas. the story and based on a novel by michael ondaatje and is told in flashbacks by fiennes count laszlo de almasy  the titular character. the fact that his name does not sound like he english plays a key role in what unfolds. he has been badly burned in a plane crash and occurring just as the film opens and and is being cared for back in europe by hana and an army nurse played by juliette binoche. what makes this story epic is the vast sweep across place and time and and the development of characters beyond that of the two ill fated lovers. the film makes clear that true love and passion and even with dreaded consequences and can make life worth living and or worth dying for. if youre a romantic at heart and and can appreciate a film without the standard happy endings and simple moral codes and you may find that the english patient speaks directly to you.
