An epic retelling of a love story that rivals Casablanca and Dr. Zhivago in scale, told in lush cinematography and rich historical setting. It may feel long to some (and it is!), but the characters and vulnerability of the scenes are touching and engrossing.

I'm going to have to disagree with the majority on this one and instead stand with Elaine from Seinfeld, "Quit telling your stupid story, about the stupid desert, and just die already! Die!!!" This is one long, boring movie. Though I do love all these actors (Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Binoche, Willem Dafoe, Kristin Scott Thomas, etc.), I couldn't buy into the characters or the sappy storyline. This is one of those award winners I just don't get. Pure cliched commercialism if you ask me.

A beautiful movie about the power of love and teh detriments of war.

Too long for sure and only mildly interesting. The film really is just a romance and should probably been only that because the war stuff does not really work at all. You never really get an idea of any of it. You only get little pieces and find it completely fails on that part. If you like romances though you probably will like it seems.

Stunning cinematography, beautifully shot , backed up by a superb cast. A Modern masterpiece. My favourite film at the moment.
