 Rating:  - I Hate This MovieLook, if you really want to see an amazing piece of Fiennes work from this period of his career, go English Patient, yes I know it's cliché and maybe you've already scene it but it's so damned good. See it again. Rating:  - Six Rivers to Cross.What started as a religious tale rapidly disintegrated into sin of commission.

The product description says their lives are forever changed by their meeting - but this is far too simple and not true. The story of the changes in each of their lives (before they even meet) already has you gripped in fascination by the ... Read More Rating: - I could watch it over and overThis is one of the lovliest movies I have ever seen. Part of the pleasure comes from the gorgeous actors (Cate Slanchett is a stunning brunette in this movie), costumes and scenery; the other part from the narrator's soothing voice, which takes the onus off the watcher and lays out details that a less gentle movie would make the watcher work for by inference. Perhaps others may dislike the narration (akin to the children's movie "Babe" in its fairytale cadence); I found that it brilliantly fleshed ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
