The English Patient

Name: The English Patient
Start: 2026-12-27
Location: Filmpodium Kino

Anthony Minghella (USA/GB 1996)

“Anthony Minghella transforms Michael Ondaatje’s award-winning novel into a breathtaking love story – a film that captured both the cultural imagination and the Oscars. A severely burnt, unidentified man (Ralph Fiennes), rescued from a crashed aeroplane in the Sahara during the Second World War, is cared for by a compassionate nurse (Juliette Binoche). As he recovers, his memories of a romantic relationship begin to come together, leading him to take stock of his life in a profound way. The English Patient is an epic film of great intelligence and sensitivity, and a poignant reflection on the barriers created by war and overcome by love.’ (The Criterion Collection, Sep 2026)
