Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche star in this adaptation of Michael Ondaatje's novel, written and directed by Anthony Minghella. During the Second World War a badly-burned pilot, known only as 'The English Patient' (Fiennes), is cared for in a military medical unit in Italy by nurse Hana (Binoche). As the dying patient's memory returns, he tells Hana his story - of how he embarked on a passionate affair with Katherine (Kristin Scott Thomas), the wife of one of his colleagues. Meanwhile, intelligence agent Caravaggio (Willem Dafoe) tells Hana that he suspects the English patient of being a spy for the Germans. This film won nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

    Arrived in good time. Good picture quality (but not widescreen) + subtitles. The history of the `English' patient is told in flashback. The secrets of interwar colonial rivals, England & Germany, intermingle with the search for the elder secrets of the Egyptians, following in the already 3000 year-old foot-steps of Herodotus, appropriately known as the `Father of History (Lies)'. Another irony hinges on the fact that this is a Royal Geographical Expedition; cf. Kipling's spying trek in `Kim'.
