Technical: DeLuxe/Super 35 152m
Director: Anthony Minghella
Cast: Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, Renée Zellweger, Eileen Atkins, Brendan Gleeson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Natalie Portman, Donald Sutherland, Ray Winstone, Kathy Baker
Synopsis:
During the American Civil War a southerner deserts from a military hospital and treks the hundreds of miles west to be with his sweetheart, who meanwhile must struggle with her farm and endure the indignities of the local home guard.
Review:
A Homeric tale in more than theme, with some brutal bloodletting and not much sentimentality about the sweet south and the villainous north. Both sides are united in their desire to stay alive and prosper, only some are more scrupulous than others about how. A breathtaking journey with all involved making strong contributions; one's only reservation is about the need for another civil war picture.
