	SoundtrackNet : The Constant Gardener
		The Constant Gardener is not an action/adventure film, but a very serious, grim, story and is, unfortunately, based heavily on fact.
		Not every film score needs a main theme, but I think The Constant Gardener could have benefited from a unifying musical idea, even if it were just a vocal performance that appeared in various places throughout the film, which was done in Tears of the Sun.
		The Constant Gardener took a different approach to the wars and suffering in Africa by looking at the political and economical struggles in the country.

	DVD Review: The Constant Gardener
		The same can be said for such films as the Constant Gardener (the title which, I must confess, made me think the film was about an agricultural expert in high-fiber vegetation) that vilify business in general and the pharmaceutical industry in particular -- a significant change in villains from LeCarre's original novel btw.
		Fernando Meirelles's The Constant Gardener (adapted from the novel by John le Carré) debuts on DVD today, and if you didn't catch this beauty of a geopolitical thriller during its brief theatrical run, don't hesitate to pick it up.
		I cannot WAIT to see The Constant Gardener.

	The Constant Gardener video : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
		A love story hidden inside a piece of agitprop buried inside a global murder mystery, the narrative of The Constant Gardener is, at its core, a buttoned-up John le Carré diplomatic thriller that's seemingly ripped from the pages of The Economist.
		In the hands of Brazilian director Fernando Meirelles (City of God), however, the film of le Carré's novel is supercharged with a passionate Third World perspective, lush colors, and a cinema vérité feel that turns a wonky subject (the corruption of pharmaceutical companies) into a sexy, vibrant film.

	WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: The Constant Gardener
		Considering my upbringing, I was discouraged to learn that Focus Features was developing a film version of John Le Carre's book, The Constant Gardener, which will open on Aug. 26.
		The producers set up the Constant Gardener Charitable Trust which has already facilitated the building of a school and a bridge within the slum of Kibera.
		While he doubts any of the drug companies will stand up and say, “That was me,” he hopes The Constant Gardener will help bring the real need for corporate social responsibility in the pharmaceutical industry to the public’s attention.

	The New Yorker: The Critics: The Current Cinema
		For instance, there is nothing in the plot of “The Constant Gardener” to verify that Tessa is a mole, that she could have laid down her life in order to infiltrate Justin’s and, in so doing, burrow close to the heart of capitalist darkness.
		There is nothing more touching in “The Constant Gardener” than the gravity with which he bends to shake hands with a small Kenyan boy and thank him for attending Tessa’s funeral.
		Don’t get me wrong: “The Constant Gardener” is a meatier proposition than most of the summer releases, and its curiosity toward the world is rare and unflagging.

	SPLICEDwire "The Constant Gardener" movie review (2005) "The Constant Gardener" review, Fernando Meirelles, Ralph Fiennes, Rachel Weisz, Danny Huston
		While the film's underlying but overt humanitarian message is likely to rankle wealthy cheerleaders for corporate autonomy, "The Constant Gardener" (the title comes from Quayle's metaphorical backyard hobby) has a handful of real problems as well, not the least of which is potential confusion stemming from the unfolding intrigue.
		But "The Constant Gardener" has the power to overcome such faults and tell a riveting story while making unequivocal statements about drug testing and pricing, Western aid to impoverished countries, and the upheaval and anarchy that result when the motives for that aid are not pure.
		A preachy but gripping socio-political thriller, "The Constant Gardener" captures the parched beauty of African desert nations, personifies the horrors of their poverty in dusty, sunburned detail, and pulls no punches in its view of greedy drug companies that feign altruism but view encroaching epidemics as lucrative boons for their stockholders.

	Blogcritics.org: The Constant Gardener Coming in August
		Fernando Meirelles has expanded upon the film grammar of "City of God" - this world of "The Constant Gardener" is equally as emblazoned, vibrant, rich characters, intimate and emotional...
		A murder mystery-political thriller, The Constant Gardener, directed by Academy Award-nominated Fernando Meirelles of City of God fame, and starring Ralph Fiennes (The English Patient, Schindler's List) and Rachel Weisz (The Mummy movies, About a Boy, Runaway Jury, Constantine) will be a late addition to the summer movie sweepstakes.
		With the huge weight of expectations of "The Constant Gardener" it will no doubt prove more bumpy with its maturity, for people wanting the sheer chaos of "City of God." As time goes on and audiences experience the movie multiple times, I think the appreciation for this movie will grow.

	The Constant Gardener Movie Review - The Constant Gardener Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
		Meirelles is working again with his "City of God" cinematographer Cesar Charlone, and "The Constant Gardener" is a visual feast of off-kilter angles, saturated film stocks, and shifting focal planes.
		"The Constant Gardener" opens with Tessa's (offscreen) murder by the side of a remote African lake and then moves backward in time, detailing the couple's courtship and Tessa's uncovering of a plot by a shadowy pharmaceutical company to use impoverished Africans as guinea pigs.
		Wilted bouquets all around: "The Constant Gardener" is a predictable conspiracy thriller that somehow ends up diminishing the real urgency of the West's humanitarian disconnect from Africa.

		*The Constant Gardener With Ralph Fiennes as its star, rather than, say, Tom Hanks, the film version of John le Carré's 2000 novel, The Constant Gardener, isn't likely to be as popular an entertainment as it could have been.
		But it's still got to be the most beautifully filmed animal story of the year, in one of the landscapes most endangered by rapacious humanity: gorgeous mile after mile of frozen earth, with pastel skyscapes, brutal storms, and line after line of amazing, tuxedoed birds, devotedly marching in formation.

		In its place were The Constant Gardener, Matchpoint, and A History of Violence.
		It premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in September 2004, and was released internationally in 2005.
		The film has likewise been criticized by liberal commentators who feel that institutionalized forms of white supremacy and white racism are far more destructive than individual prejudices, and feel that the movie is "self-indulgent" for white Americans who "want to feel victimized too".

	SoundtrackNet : Duma
		Collaborating with music supervisor and songwriter, George Acogny, Debney's score depicts the cultural landscape of Africa through his music in a realistic way with a similar approach to that taken by John Powell for Endurance and Alberto Iglesias for The Constant Gardener.
		His score for Zathura harkens back to his "seaQuest" and Cutthroat Island style, and with Duma, a film about a boy befriending an orphaned cheetah in Africa in the vein of Two Brothers, he returns to the ethnically charged feel he developed for Passion of the Christ.
		Like Passion of the Christ, gone are his recognizable complex orchestrations and sweeping themes.
