30 Dec The English Patient
The English Patient, WWII Movie starring Ralph Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas
(1996) The movie takes place (and was filmed) in northern Africa and Italy, beginning just prior to World War II. The “patient” was a cartographer whose maps of the desert were intended to help the Allies but in the end assisted the Germans.
I’ve watched the movie 3 or 4 times at least … I am mesmerized by it. This time I paid attention to the WWII connections. It won 9 academy awards, including best picture.
An unforgettable scene, in the church.
