Product Description

Winner of 9 Academy Awards(R) in 1996, including Best Picture, Best Director (Anthony Minghella) and Best Supporting Actress (Juliette Binoche), this powerful motion picture is an experience you will never forget. During World War II, a mysterious stranger (Ralph Fiennes) is cared for by American allies unaware of his dangerous past. Yet, as the mystery of his identity is revealed, an incredible tale of passion, intrigue, and adventure unfolds. Also starring Kristin Scott Thomas, Colin Firth, and Willem Dafoe.

Set Contains:

In conjunction with the 2004 DVD release of Cold Mountain, Anthony Minghella's first Oscar-winning film returns to DVD in a two-disc set. This set certainly improves on the first, bare-bones release; it adds material from the laserdisc release along with new interviews. The film now boasts a DTS track to go along with the Dolby 5.1 track. The most superfluous feature is another commentary track by the director; it's not needed since he teamed with producer Saul Zaentz and author Michael Ondaatje for a superb track years earlier that is also included. Those three talents have plenty of other interviews, both old and new, on the new disc and give a well-rounded insight into the film, including the real-life inspirations, the tricks of adaptation, casting (Sean Connery nearly co-starred), and the long shoot. The 20-minute session of deleted scenes is incorporated with Minghella's explanations, a "master class" of how a single deletion can change full storylines. Morsels from other talents, including double Oscar-winner Walter Murch (sound, editing), are here along with a full-hour making-of feature produced by the CBC. A lot of material from well-spoken cinematic talents makes this a DVD to delve into, although one could wish for simpler navigation. --Doug Thomas

Christopher Greffin

Great epic film, and terrific DVD set.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 29, 2008

Verified Purchase

The grand epic tale and love story, The English Patient, really requires multiple viewings to truly appreciate. When I watched it the first time it was the characters and their relationships that held my attention. The second time I was better able to understand the fairly complex plotline. And the third time I was able to admire the great look and cinematography of the film more than other viewings, as well as pay more attention to many small details within. I'm not going to go deep into the plot in this review. I'm just going to say it revolves around a man, Count Laszlo (Ralph Fiennes) who gets shot down in a plane during the Second World War, seriously burning just about all of his body. Hana (Juliette Binoche), a Canadian nurse makes a choice to stay behind her team and care for this English Patient (who isn't even English). The Count has lost quite a bit of his memory, but he regains it as she reads the book he had with him. Flashbacks then tell of his past story, mostly before the war, in North African and his relationship with the married Katherine Clifton (Christian Scott Thomas). Also in the present a stranger (William Dafoe) arrives and ads another layer of complexity to the story.

Now saying more that about the plot could diminish the experience for any seeing the film for the first time. I'll just add the performances of the four main leads are all terrific. Binoche won a supporting actress Oscar for it and deservingly so as really the heart of the film that connects the present to the past. Fiennes and Thomas have great chemistry in their relationship that builds itself piece by piece. Some complain this film is boring. Well it's builds itself slowly, but I have never found it boring. The relationships are fascinating and it takes the viewer from place to place with a superb beauty and detail in just about every shot. Seriously I doubt there's a bad shot in the entire film. The film could have trimmed itself down some, shortening or eliminating a scene or two, but honestly I don't have a problem with its length at all. I don't rank this film with the like of Lawrence of Arabia or Gone with the Wind, but it certainly stands as one of the great modern film epics. A must see for anyone who can appreciate a top quality art film.

The DVD is a 2 disk set, and the second disk has some fascination special features involving the making of the film, the film makers and cast, and the author of the book The English Patient. There are also some deleted scenes I found particularly fascinating. I haven't yet viewed the commentary, but look forward to it. The director, Anthony Minghella, died just March this year at the age of just 54. It was a great loss to film making (he also directed Cold Mountain and Truly Madly Deeply among other films). We lost a great film maker, and I dedicate this review in his behalf.

The Ancient Simplicity

We are all just fragile swimmers

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 25, 2016

Verified Purchase

The English Patient's opening visual is of a painting of the cave swimmers. I take this to represent the movie's theme: fragile humans swimming the tides of life.

At the beginning of the movie both Katharine (K) and Almasy (A), in their respective ways, have given up on love. K had given up on finding romantic love and settled for a marriage with a friend, Geoffrey. A, by excessive rationality, had concluded he prefers not to be "owned" or to be restricted by obligation to another.

Romantic love is a mystery. Who can say why such attraction occurs---is it in the eyes, the face, how they carry themselves, is it all sheer accident? All we know is that it happens, it's sudden, and its all consuming. From the moment A and K first meet, they are possessed by an unbidden passion neither understands.

If individuals and their relationships is the major current within the movie, the strong undercurrent belongs to the theme of nations and their politics. This theme is summed up in the voice of K near the movie's end---she longs for an earth without maps.

From this perspective, domestic and foreign political divisions, like the boundaries drawn on maps, are superimposed over our true selves. What is important in life are not "pacts and sects of great ones" but for the individual to live one's days with love and with wonder. Of course, even if we attempt to remain aloof from the maddening world of politics, the dangerous rip tides formed by the pacts and sects of great ones can drag us under---as A says, "K died because I had the wrong name."

The movie has numerous story lines but manages to tie them together with an easy flair, this is a tribute to the adaptation and direction of Minghella.

A thoughtful and intelligent movie, well deserving to be called a classic.

Beautiful and tragic

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 22, 2012

Verified Purchase

The English Patient is visually gorgeous and unforgettably tragic. Ralph Fiennes portrays a Hungarian nobleman who has lost his memory as the result of an airplane crash while transporting the body of his beloved Catherine Clifton to...God knows where. He is a survivor of a mapmaking expedition into the Sahara just before World War II, and he and the married Catherine fall in love with each other against their better judgment. Her husband attempts to kill them both by crashing his plane; only Catherine survives to die in a cave while her lover is gone in search of help.

In few words, Fiennes if elegant and desperate as Count Almasy, and Kristen Scott Thomas as Catherine is at first elegant and cool, then wonderfully passionate. Colin Firth is suppressed and furious as the betrayed husband, and Juliette Binoche is the Canadian Army nurse who cares for Fiennes in his final days of loss and recovery via flashbacks. And there is Willem Dafoe as a vengeful and agonized thief who lost his thumbs because the Count betrayed war secrets to the German in exchange for a biplane to get him back to Catherine.

Okay, I've dropped plot spoilers. What I have NOT given away are the scenic views of the desert and the incredible music of Gabriel Yared's musical score, which is luscious. Anthony Minghella was one of the great directors who got the best from everyone involved. Fiennes, particularly, deservedly remembered for Amon Goeth, the fiendish commander of the Plaszow slave labor camp in Schindler's List, here performs as a romantic but never mawkish Count Almasy. His eyes and voice sears the memory.

Mr. Benjamin J. Webber

Brilliant Romance/World War Two Movie. One of Ralph Fiennes best films.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

I hadn't seen this movie for years and still only owned it on video. I read the reviews on amazon and this persuaded me to buy the blu ray over the dvd on what is a fairly old movie now. The blu ray picture is pretty good. Not one of the best, but on a decent 4k television it will upscale the picture and with an advanced picture setting it looks good. The sound is very good and displays the fantastic soundtrack of the film. There are some fine actors in this movie, Ralph Fiennes, Kristin Scott Thomas, Willem Dafoe, Juliette Binoche, Colin Firth and Naveen Andrews. Anthony Mingella was a brilliant director of this and The Talented Mr Ripley, and is sorely missed. It is one of the most beautifully filmed movies you will see, with a love story/affair, the Second World War in Africa, an engrossing plot and a first rate music score. I will certainly be watching this again soon. It scores on so many levels and is a classic.

Anthony Minghella's masterpiece hypnotically draws you in on the first frame to the last, with composer Gabriel Yared's music and master cinematographer John Seale, A.C. S, creating a film that will live forever in the heart and soul of anyone who has seen it <3. Ralph Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas' characters are beautiful souls forever bound by love's eternal grace. Juliette Binoche is heartbreakingly human, vulnerable, dealing with constant loss, yet ultimately strengthened by all that she's experienced. An unsurpassed romantic masterpiece <3.

This may be one of the most perfect and beautiful films I have ever seen. I have seen this film many times and love it every time. The cast, the acting, the music, the script, the story line are all outstanding. I am a sucker for landscapes, planes, violins and the piano. The photography is wonderful. This film has is it all plus love, sorrow, passion, betrayal, happiness and heartache. Who could ask for more? One of my favourite films. I will watch this again and again.
