English Patient at American Center

Nine Academy awarded ‘The English Patient’, the movie based based on Michael Ondaatje’s prizewinning novel of love and loss during World War II will be screened at the American center at 6 pm on November 17.

Directed by Anthony Minghella, the film won nine Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Juliette Binoche), Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score and Best Sound.

Set during World War II, it depicts a critically burned man, at first known only as “the English patient”, who is being looked after by Hana (Juliette Binoche), a French-Canadian nurse in a ruined Italian villa. The patient is reluctant to disclose any personal information but through a series of flashbacks, viewers are allowed into his past.

It is slowly revealed that he is in fact a Hungarian geographer, Count László de Almásy (Ralph Fiennes), who was making a map of the Sahara Desert, and whose affair with a married woman (Kristin Scott Thomas) ultimately brought about his present situation.
