This film is one of the best you could ever watch! Starring Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Binoche, Willem Dafoe, Kristen Scott Thomas, and Colin Firth, the English Patient is the story of two people's love, that will leave you weeping along the way.

A man have become badly burnt, now without a face, nor a name, he is named 'The English Patient'. Very near death, a nurse takes care of him, and his memory begins to return. About his painstaking love for Katherin, and the fact he didn't have the right name.

One of my favourite scenes is where 'The English Patient' dances with Katherine, and holds her gaze no matter how much she tries to look away. They begin a passionate love affair, and Katherine's husband finds out, to say the least, the outcome is tragic. Is the 'English Patient' really English, and why is the man with no thumbs so curious about his identity?

'In Memory, loves lives forver'

Watch this film, and you'll find out exactly what happened to the 'English Patient'.

Highly Recommended!

It's very hard to write a review in which you'll encourage people to watch, without giving away the plot, like some reviews do. I suggest you look on the web if you need more info. xXx

sorry about the low rating, but you really need to add some more info to this op...if you are going to revise it, i will be more than happy to re-rate it....P.S. this is one of my all time favorite films...saw it opening night in 1996, and i was pleased it won 9 oscars..Chris xxx
