ELAINE: Ugh. You wouldn't believe it. My boyfriend dumped me. My friends, who I don't even like, they won't talk to me. (face-pulling) All because I don't like that stupid English Patient movie.
WAITRESS: Really? I thought it was pretty good.
ELAINE: Oh, come on. Good? What was good about it? (scoffs) Those sex scenes!I mean, please! Gimme something I can use!
WAITRESS: (sour) Well, I liked it.
The waitress takes the coffee pot and walks away into the back.
ELAINE: (calling after) Hey. You forgot about my piece of pie. Hello? (irritated) You know, sex in a tub. That doesn't work!

CAROL: Elaine. Elaine, did you just see The English Patient?
GAIL: (tearful) Didn't you love it?
LISA:…
First time watch for me. 1996 was a bit of a mess for me so that's probably why I missed it.
I found it engaging yet I wasn't swept away... perhaps because of the film's formality. And John Seale's cinematography is of course delicious.
Budget was 27 million. Even for 23 years ago, that's impressive.
Watched on Blu-ray
Willem DaFOXY and Ralph FINE damn
Sorry this is another thirst review I am a simple woman sometimes
The English Patient is a story about a Canadian nurse in World War 2 who looks after a disabled, dying burn victim in a broken down Italian monastery. The patient cannot remember his name and his life is revealed slowly (very slowly) via flashbacks while the nurse reads him his copy of Herodotus' Histories.
Believe me, it only sounds thrilling on paper.
I originally saw this film on the big screen in 1996. I thought it was mediocre but I enjoyed some of the performances. I thought Juliette Binoche and Naveen Andrews had great chemistry and I kinda wished the film was about them. Ralph Fiennes and Willem Dafoe are always a welcome addition to any movie. The problem was…
The more that I watch this film, the more it creeps up my top 100 film's of all time list. This film is an overlooked gem nowadays, even though it won a lot of awards back in 96.
An undeniable masterpiece and it almost puts every other film ever made to shame. Seriously give it another try if you don't believe me and if you have watched it more than once and you still aren't a fan then what can I say.
The direction and storytelling are impeccable and the cast all around are outstanding! Especially Juliette Binoche! And Ralph Fiennes, Kristin Scott Thomas, Willem Dafoe, Naveen Andrews (brilliant) and Colin Firth and freaking amazing.
Yep, I like this movie just as much as Taxi Driver, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Magnolia and Pulp Fiction...rounding out my top 5 film's.
The lines in this, they do read like poetry. They're so good, I think I could've written them myself. "Mrs Clifton, I believe you still have my book. Now on your back!" "You still have sand in your hair. Now fuck me!" A beautiful film, full of love, compassion, and poetry.
“The English Patient” is a nearly three hour-long film; which - somehow - still, does its characters an injustice in lack of time devoted to each of their stories.
Anthony Minghella’s wartime drama is a complex, interweaving tapestry of three romances. Each of which, would have rights for its own epic retelling. It is to “Patient’s” credit of ambition, though not its cohesion as a narrative, that an attempt to relate the trio of relationships simultaneously, amounts to a dizzying cacophony of tragedy and longing.
Based on a novel that is structured as a quartet of stories set in the Italian Campaign, “Patient” the film suffers from unfortunate favoritism for one particular portion of the book; that of the affair…
