... you can learn from:
The English Patient (1996)
Hana: There's a man downstairs.He brought us eggs. He might stay.Almásy: Why? Can he lay eggs?Hana: He's Canadian.Almásy: Why are people always so happy whenthey collide with someone from the same place?What happened in Montreal when you passed a manin the street? Did you invite him to live with you?
Happy 25 to Anthony Minghella's gorgeous Best-Picture-winning epic, released into limited release on this day in 1996. I feel like this movie was hated for a long time but that people have maybe come around on it some? It definitely got some awards behemoth backlash. Anyway those people were always wrong -- I've loved it since Day One (and I re-watched it a few months ago and it entirely holds up) and I have never understood how anybody could spend any time hating on a film that got Juliette f'ing Binoche an Oscar. Whenever I remember that our greatest living actress has an Oscar I hate the Oscars just a little bit less.

I'm with you, my friend. This movie never fails to make me ache with its beauty
Her Count Chocula cosplay still slays all these years later!
I loved English Patient, I couldn't stop sobbing at the end. Sucks that he only made a few films. Kristen Scott Thomas, always good, is luminous in this. And everyone in Ripley has never been (or looked!) better.
A-men. Juliette is the best. Just the best.
