Full Plot Details

October 1944 in war torn Italy. Hana (Juliette Binoche), a French-Canadian nurse working in a mobile army medical unit, feels like everything she loves in life dies on her. Because of the difficulty traveling and the dangers, especially as the landscape is still heavily booby-trapped with mines, Hana volunteers to stay behind at a church to care solely for a dying semi-amnesiac patient, who is badly burned and disfigured. She agrees to catch up to the rest of the unit after he dies. All the patient remembers is that he is English, and that he is married. Their solitude is disrupted with the arrival at the church of fellow Canadian David Caravaggio (Willem Dafoe), part of the Intelligence Service, who is certain that he knows the patient as a man who cooperated with the Germans. Caravaggio believes that the patient's memory is largely intact, and that he is running away from his past, in part, or in its entirety. The patient does open up about his past, all surrounding his work as a cartographer in North Africa, which was interrupted by the war. He may not be running from his work as a spy for the Germans as Caravaggio believes, but rather the memory of an affair he had with married Katharine Clifton (Dame Kristin Scott Thomas), the love of his life, and the memory of a promise not totally fulfilled. Hana may also test her theory of her fates with love and death as she embarks on a relationship of her own with Kip Singh (Naveen Andrews), a Sikh from India, whose unit has camped on the now overgrown lawn of the church. Their work entails sweeping for and diffusing mines, the discovery of one such mine which had earlier saved her life.

Movie Reviews

Spirituality and Practice - 10/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatEnthralling movie about the violent upheavals of war and the healing power of love.
Minneapolis Star Tribune - 10/10 by Jeff StricklerIt took a filmmaker with Anthony Minghella's vision to even attempt an adaptation of Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient. And it took a filmmaker with Minghella's talent to pull it off.
The A.V. Club - 10/10 by John KrewsonHeartbreakingly beautiful film, a brilliant adaptation of Michael Ondaatje's equally beautiful novel, is a sort of Casablanca for our time.
Baltimore Sun - 10/10 by Stephen HunterAs a love story and an adventure story, The English Patient is the fastest, most powerful two hours and 40 minutes this year. It's terrific.
eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Rob GonsalvesThe sand seems to drench the actors in deep golden light; the sky is a rich, muted blue, like a still and suspended sea.
Looking Closer - 10/10 by Jeffrey OverstreetYes, it's beautifully shot, well-acted, and rich with history lessons. But how can we cheer for heroes who sell out their friends and nation for an extramarital affair?
Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY) - 10/10 by Judith EgertonIt's Casablanca set amid the swirling Sahara sands of North Africa and the voluptuous hills of Tuscany.
Cincinnati Enquirer - 10/10 by Margaret A. McGurkIt is testimony to the strength of this haunting story that it can sustain its fascination for every minute of its 21/2-hour-plus length.
Washington Post - 10/10 by Rita KempleyA tour de force so haunting that other films can't exorcise the memory of its radiant cast, exquisite craftsmanship or complex system of metaphors. This, ladies and gentlemen, is a movie.
Cinematter - 10/10 by Madeleine WilliamsThe English Patient is a labyrinthine film, with plenty of mysteries and secrets all around, and it is a film not to be missed.
