	The English Patient Movie Review
		The English Patient, based on a novel by Michael Ondaatje, begins with a scene where two people are flying in a bi-plane over a vast desert which looks like an ocean of sand.
		The rest of the movie is about flashbacks and memories of this English patient, who happens to have a case of amnesia.
		The English Patient is rated R. For the first hour and a half there really isn't much that is offensive, but after that point, get ready for full frontal nudity and some sex scenes, along with violence and language.

	Spirituality & Health: Movie Review: The English Patient (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The English Patient is an enthralling movie about the violent upheavals of war and the healing power of love.
		A badly burned patient (Ralph Fiennes) is taken to an Italian monastery at the end of World War II by Hana (Juliette Binoche), a Canadian nurse.
		The English Patient, winner of nine Academy awards including Best Film of 1996, is a soul-stirring film that conveys the potencies of erotic love, the mesmerizing beauty of the desert, and the importance of memory and grief.

	The English Patient - Rotten Tomatoes
		It is rare to see a movie where images and visual textures play such an important role, not merely as decoration, but as substance and metaphor.
		The English Patient is a labyrinthine film, with plenty of mysteries and secrets all around, and it is a film not to be missed.
		The English Patient, the superb new film by Anthony Minghella, is that rarest of things: a film based on a great contemporary novel.

		The patient himself observes, "Kip and I are both international bastards -- born in one place and choosing to live elsewhere.
		The patient, badly burned and nameless, turns out to be not English at all, but Hungarian and a count, a widely traveled and deeply intelligent map maker.
		All these writers have, in one fashion or another, dwelled at the margins of the Commonwealth, migrated elsewhere, and having stolen the language of their colonial masters, as it were, use their fiction to investigate the arbitrary nature of the borders and the hybrid nature of human identity itself.

	Review: The English Patient (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The one flaw in The English Patient is related to an aspect of the structure.
		As is necessary for a movie of this tone and style, the acting is strong.
		This motion picture is yet another example of how the patience of movie-goers, after being sorely tried during the first eight mediocre months of 1996, is being rewarded by a surge of excellent end-of-the-year releases.

	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: English Patient
		These stories culminate in losses of love, life, and body parts, and they all have as their focal point the life of a horribly burned man whose identity, and most of his memory, is lost.
		His medical chart identifies him only as "the English patient," and his only certain memory is that everyone who crosses his path dies.
		The English Patient takes its time to play out, but it is a spectacularly photographed and edited piece, and a delight to watch.

		Her mysterious unidentified patient is burned alive and hanging on by a thread.
		The English Patient, the movie, is, for me, more easily accessible than the book, where the poetry seems to get in the way of the story.
		I like that The English Patient is BOTH a breath-catching romance (between the Count and Katherine Clifton, between Kip and Hana) AND a war movie where the British and their allies fight the Germans in North Africa and Italy.

	Movie Review: The English Patient
		Although the patient cannot remember his name, certain sounds, such as Hana playing a solitary game of hopscotch, transport him to the past and the rest of the story is revealed through flashbacks.
		The patient (portrayed by Fiennes) is at first stoic and passionless but this exterior is broken by Katherine, and his unleashed emotion is almost frightening to watch.
		Overall, "The English Patient" is carried by the emotions of the patient and Katherine.

		Caring for the English patient on the hospital train is Hana (Binoche), a young French Canadian nurse from Montreal.

	The English Patient
		The English Patient is the kind of movie that makes you want to interpret everything you see, that makes you keenly aware that everything can have meaning.
		We soon learn that he's not English at all; he's the Hungarian Count Laszlo de Almasy (Ralph Fiennes), and he was a cartographer in the employ of the British government.
		Meanwhile (at least in terms of screen time), Hana is falling in love, not with her patient, but with Kip (Naveen Andrews) a Sikh bomb disposal expert who enters her life by shooing her away from the monastery's piano -- he fears the Germans have mined it, and he's right.

		Haunting and harrowing, as beautiful as it is disturbing, The English Patient tells the story of the entanglement of four damaged lives in an Italian monastery as the second world war ends.
		The exhausted nurse, Hana; the maimed thief, Caravaggio; the wary sapper, Kip: each is haunted by the riddle of the English patient, the nameless, burn victim who lies in an upstairs room and whose memories of passion, betrayal and rescue illuminate this book like flashes of sheet lightning.
		The passages of dialogue between the English Patient and the others are sublime, especially his recollections of the desert.

		Anthony Minghella's "The English Patient" packs all the adventurous and emotional wallop of a "Casablanca" and all the coolheaded intellectualism of some scholarly treatise on the futility of warfare.
		Anyone who hasn't figured out by the end of Reel No. 1 that the "English patient" is not English at all, should have his or her movie-buff credentials suspended.
		Such ancestral movies hang as much on romantic chemistry as they do on suspenseful adventure, and "The English Patient" fits that description impressively.

		THE ENGLISH PATIENT is an epic, sweeping adaptation of Michael Ondaatje's richly layered, WWII-era novel chronicling two periods in the life of European explorer Count Laszlo Almasy, whose torrid affair with a colleague's wife is countered by the beginning of the war, allegations of Nazi sympathies, and disfiguring injuries.
		The patient's stay at the ruins of an Italian monastery under the care of an emotionally injured French-Canadian nurse serves as a framing device for his intriguing story.
		The English Patient is an amazing book and incredibly complex, I read it before seeing the film and given that the book is almost unfilmable as there is so much imagery and obscurity and sudden movement between characters, the film makers have done an excellent job to say the least!!!!

	The English Patient, Screenplay by Anthony Minghella
		The next image, which provides the mysterious center of the movie (a mystery which the movie's job it is to solve), is of what turns out to be undulating, almost body-like sand from the point of view of an old plane, which the movie also captures.
		The "English" patient (starring Ralph Fiennes in the misnamed title role), shot down in North Africa and now dying in Italy, turns out to be a Hungarian self-exile, the Count de Almasy, a man trying to forget or fashion his home.
		In the movie's present, Italy in 1944, Fiennes's patient is a burned, scarred, dying cipher being fed morphine by his own Florence Nightingale.

		BUDAPEST, Dec. 14 — The character compassionately depicted in the film "The English Patient" as a desert explorer of enigmatic origins is based on a real-life Hungarian who served German military intelligence in World War II and then, apparently, spied for the Soviet Union.
		For his daring on the side of the Germans, Count Laszlo Almasy, who died of dysentery in Austria in 1951 at the age of 55, was awarded an Iron Cross by Field Marshal Erwin Rommel.

	Review on The English Patient by samsat - MouthShut.com
		The English Patient uses the end of the story to kickstart this enchanting tale of love.
		The movie never defies the main theme of the book barring some minute details which in a movie would have given way to confused subplots.
		The English Patient is simply poetry in motion, be it personification of geographical boundaries by human relations or the intertwining of past and present events and least to say, the effect is mesmerizing.

	Movie Habit: Review of English Patient (1996), ****
		The English Patient is a masterful epic of romance, art, music, history, and war.
		Because a large portion of the film takes place in the desert and because it has the scope and feel of an epic, The English Patient is oftentimes referenced in the same sentence as Lawrence of Arabia, the king of all desert movies.
		Granted that the film’s initial release was a case of the right movie at the right time, an extended cut would nonetheless certainly be an interesting film to see, based on the deleted scenes shown in the supplemental segments.

		It is the kind of movie you can see twice--first for the questions, the second time for the answers.
		A horribly-burned man, the ``English patient'' of the title, is part of a hospital convoy.
		Meanwhile, the patient's memories start to return in flashes of detail, spurred by the book that was found with his charred body--an old leather-bound volume of the histories of Herodotus, with drawings, notes and poems pasted or folded inside.

	National Catholic Reporter: The English Patient. - movie reviews
		This passionately large-hearted young woman is at the center of Breaking the Waves (October Films), an award-winning English-language movie by Danish director Lars von Trier that combines melodramatic excess with aspirations to religious meaning.
		What is surprisingly is not that the movie won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes and has gotten comparable critical support here, but that even sophisticated women of different ages have fallen under its spell.
		Much of the movie's wit is in the bright lines given its narrator, DJ (Natasha Lyonne), a younger daughter, who passes on to Woody some secrets blurted out by Von (Julia Roberts) to her analyst.

	Amazon.ca: DVD: The English Patient (Widescreen) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		After the publication of Michael Ondaatje's Booker-Prize-winning "English Patient," conventional wisdom soon held that the novel, while a masterpiece of fiction, was entirely untransferable to any other medium: too intricately layered seemed its narrative structure; too significant its protagonists' inner life; too rich its symbolism.
		"The English Patient" is an epic tale of love and loss; of ownership, belonging and the bars erected thereto.
		Similarly, once the focus had moved to the latter couple, Kip's back story would have extended the movie without significantly advancing it; and the same is true for the intersections between Caravaggio's path and that of Hana's father.
