About

'A lush and star-filled adaptation of Michael Ondaatje’s complex, multi-layered novel, vividly evoking fleeting experiences and memories of lost love in times of war. Moving between the present in an isolated Italian monastery and the past at a Libyan oasis, we are drawn into the fateful triangle of an elegant British woman (Kristin Scott Thomas), her aviator husband (Colin Firth) and her lover (Ralph Fiennes), a cartographer who is mapping the Sahara in an expedition. Both passion and revenge shimmer through the stories of one survivor, horribly burnt, who recounts them to a nurse (Juliette Binoche), as she struggles to make sense of her own affections. Winner of 9 Academy Awards including Best Picture.'
