 | | Clearly, the 8th-century poet never met 21st-century master film editor Walter Murch, whose 16-month editing effort on the movie version of Cold Mountain cut such a compelling throughline across half a million feet of accumulated footage that the Civil War epic is generating early but substantial Oscar buzz. |
 | | Writer/director Anthony Minghellas adaptation of Fraziers book covers the long, treacherous journey of Inman (Jude Law), a wounded Confederate soldier, as he tries to return from the war to his love, Ada (Nicole Kidman), on Cold Mountain, where she runs her dead fathers farm with help from a drifter, Ruby (Renee Zellweger). |
 | | To keep it interesting, Murch conducted his experiment halfway across the world in rural Romania, where the film was shot to capture the look and feel of 19th-century North Carolina. |
