At the end of World War II, a mysterious, horribly burned man who claims not to remember his name, known only as the "English patient," lies near death in an Italian villa. He is cared for by a quietly desperate young nurse, Hana, herself a victim of the war. With her at the villa are Kip, a young Sikh bomb-disposal expert, and a shadowy thief with bandaged hands named Caravaggio. The key to the burned man's past may lie in his commonplace book, a volume of Herodotus, and its intimations of the sacred whirlwind of a great, mysterious, passionate, and tragically doomed love, which trapped two unsuspecting people, forever.

TEP submitted by a2sue on July 23, 2017, 11:18pm The English Patient is so incredibly long and so incredibly boring! Hated it!!
English patient submitted by yenkong on August 11, 2017, 1:32pm Slow pace movie but if you'd be patient then you will find that it's a beautiful movie.
