The English Patient
In a bombed Italian monastery at the war's end, a young nurse tends a burned man whose morphine-loosened memories unspool an adulterous love affair in the North African desert. Minghella's adaptation of Ondaatje's novel won nine Oscars and revived the David Lean tradition of the literate romantic epic.
