The film stars [[Ralph Fiennes]] and [[Kristin Scott Thomas]] alongside [[Juliette Binoche]], [[Willem Dafoe]] and [[Colin Firth]] in supporting roles. The eponymous protagonist, a man [[burn]]ed beyond recognition who speaks with an [[Received Pronunciation|English accent]], recalls his history in a series of flashbacks, revealing to the audience his true identity and the love affair in which he was involved before the war. The film ends with a definitive onscreen statement that it is a highly fictionalized account of [[László Almásy]] (died 1951) and other historical figures and events. The film received widespread critical acclaim and emerged as a major commercial success at the box-office. The film received twelve nominations at the [[69th Academy Awards]], winning nine, including [[Academy Award for Best Picture|Best Picture]], [[Academy Award for Best Director|Best Director]] for Minghella, and [[Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress|Best Supporting Actress]] for Binoche. It was also the first to receive a [[Academy Award for Best Film Editing|Best Editing]] Oscar for a [[Non-linear editing system|digitally edited]] film. [[Ralph Fiennes]], playing the titular character, and [[Kristin Scott Thomas]] were Oscar-nominated for their performances. The film also won five [[BAFTA Awards]] and two [[Golden Globes]].

A group of [[Bedouin]] pulls the badly burned pilot from the wreckage, rescuing him. Hana, a [[French-Canadian]] WWII [[Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps]] combat nurse, discovers from a wounded soldier that her boyfriend has been killed. In [[Italian campaign (World War II)|October 1944 Italy]], she is caring for a dying, severely burned [[England|English-accented]] patient who says that he cannot remember his name. His only possession is a copy of [[Histories (Herodotus)|Herodotus's ''Histories'']], with personal notes, pictures, and mementos stored inside. When a nurse friend is killed in front of her, Hana decides that she is a curse to her loved ones. She gains permission to settle in a bombed-out monastery with her patient, as he is suffering during their hospital unit's relocation. Lieutenant Kip, a [[Sikh]] [[sapper]] in the [[British Indian Army]] posted with Sergeant Hardy to clear German mines and booby traps, joins them. David Caravaggio, a [[Canadian Intelligence Corps]] operative who was tortured during a German interrogation, also arrives there. He questions the patient, who gradually reveals his past. Over the days of the patient relating his story, Hana and Kip begin a love affair. In the late 1930s, Hungarian cartographer [[László Almásy]] is exploring a region of the Sahara as part of a [[Royal Geographical Society]] archeological and surveying expedition group, which includes his good friend Englishman Peter Madox, and British couple Geoffrey and Katharine Clifton, who provide aerial surveys using their plane. Almásy discovers through a Bedouin the location of the ancient [[Cave of Swimmers]], containing cave paintings. As the group documents their findings, Almásy and Katharine fall in love. He writes about her in notes folded into his book, which she discovers when he awkwardly accepts two watercolours of the cave walls and asks her to paste them into the book. Upon returning to Cairo, they begin an affair, while the group arranges for more detailed archaeological surveys of the cave and the surrounding area. Almásy buys her a silver thimble as a gift. Geoffrey secretly watches her from his car and realizes that she is cheating. Months later, Katharine breaks things off, fearing the repercussions from Geoffrey. The archaeological projects are then halted due to the onset of the war. Madox leaves his [[De Havilland Tiger Moth|Tiger Moth]] airplane at [[Kufra|Kufra Oasis]] before his return to Britain. Caravaggio now seeks revenge for his injuries, so far killing the German interrogator who cut off his thumbs and the spy who identified him, but now seeks whoever provided maps to the Germans, allowing them to infiltrate Cairo. He suspects Almásy, asking "Did you kill the Cliftons?", to which Almásy concedes "Maybe... I did". Almásy tells Caravaggio, with Hana listening nearby, about packing camp [[Capture of Kufra|in 1941]] when Geoffrey arrives in the biplane. He aims at Almásy, who jumps out of the way, and crashes. Almásy finds Geoffrey dead at the controls and Katharine badly injured in the front seat. It was an attempted double murder-suicide, as he uncovered their affair. Almásy carries Katharine to the Cave of Swimmers and observes that she is still wearing the thimble that he had given as a gift on a chain. She declares that she has always loved him. Leaving her there with provisions and his book, Almásy walks three days cross-desert. At British-held [[El Tag]], he explains her desperate situation and asks for help, but a young officer detains him on suspicion of being a spy. Transported away by train, Almásy escapes and eventually comes across a German army unit. They take him to the Kufra Oasis, where Madox has hidden his plane. Exchanging maps for fuel, Almásy flies to the cave and finds Katharine dead. Taking her on the plane, they are burned when shot down. After hearing the story, Caravaggio gives up his quest for revenge. Kip is reposted once he has cleared the explosives; he and Hana agree that they will meet again. Later, Almásy tells her that he has had enough by pushing vials of morphine towards her. Though distraught, Hana grants his wish, administering the lethal dose. As he drifts to sleep, she reads him Katharine's final letter, written while alone in the cave. The next morning Hana goes with Caravaggio to Florence, holding Almásy's book tightly as they ride away. ==Cast== <!--- [[WP:NOTDATABASE]] - cast and order per opening stand-alone credits, roles per closing credits scroll ---> {{Cast listing| *[[Ralph Fiennes]] as [[László Almásy|Almásy]] *[[Juliette Binoche]] as Hana *[[Willem Dafoe]] as Caravaggio *[[Kristin Scott Thomas]] as Katharine Clifton *[[Naveen Andrews]] as Kip *[[Colin Firth]] as Geoffrey Clifton *[[Julian Wadham]] as Madox *[[Jürgen Prochnow]] as Major Muller *[[Kevin Whately]] as Hardy *[[Clive Merrison]] as Fenelon-Barnes *[[Nino Castelnuovo]] as D'Agostino *[[Hichem Rostom]] as Fouad *[[Peter Rühring]] as Bermann }} In addition, [[Torri Higginson]] plays Mary and [[Liisa Repo-Martell]] plays Jan, appearing briefly as Hana's nursing corps colleagues. ==Production== [[Image:Triumph 3HW 350cc motorcycle.jpg|thumb|right|Triumph 3HW 350cc motorcycle specified in the novel as Kip's choice of transport and used in the film]] [[Saul Zaentz]] was interested in working with [[Anthony Minghella]] after he saw the director's film ''[[Truly, Madly, Deeply (film)|Truly, Madly, Deeply]]'' (1990); Minghella brought this project to the producer's attention.

[[Walter Murch|Murch]], with a career that already included such complex works as [[The Godfather|the Godfather trilogy]], ''[[The Conversation]],'' and ''[[Apocalypse Now]],'' dreaded the task of editing the film with multiple flashbacks and time frames. Once he began, the possibilities became apparent, some of which took him away from the order of the original script. A reel without sound was made so scene change visuals would be consistent with the quality of the aural aspect between the two. The final cut features over 40 temporal transitions. It was during this time that Murch met Ondaatje and they were able to exchange thoughts about editing the film.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.powells.com/review/2002_08_31.html |title=The Conversations: Walter Murch and the Art of Editing Film by Michael Ondaatje |first=Chris |last=Bolton |work=Powell's Books |date=31 August 2002 |access-date=30 May 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150530052328/http://www.powells.com/review/2002_08_31.html |archive-date=May 30, 2015 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> In the film, two types of aircraft were used:<ref name="impdb.org">{{cite web |url= http://www.impdb.org/index.php?title=The_English_Patient |title=The English Patient |work=The Internet Movie Plane Database |year=2015 |access-date=30 May 2015}}</ref> a [[De Havilland D.H.82 Tiger Moth]] and a [[Boeing-Stearman Model 75]].
