One of my all time favourites. Absolutly brillant.
Very emotional jorney. Great acters and actressess. A must buy and DVD to add to collection. From the great director Anthony Minghella who sadly died last month. WHAT A SHAME he will be sadly missed. He was a very unqiue director with great talent.

After seeing this film at the cinema, I realised I had seen something special and I immediately rushed to buy the soundtrack. What struck me about this film was that it had the feel of Dr Zhivago and Lawrence of Arabia about it in its delivery.

Anthony Minghella, the director, does an absolutely beautiful job of handling what was widely regarded as unfilmable. Taking the main points from the novel, Minghella as screenwriter, transfers the elements to the screen lovingly and brilliantly.

The production design is just breathtaking and a joy to behold and the same could be said for the cinematography and the first rate soundtrack which gives the film that extra dramatic charge. A David Lean inspired beauty that is up there with one of the finest made.
