I'm a little surprised this beat Fargo for best picture. I mean it's fine but not really that memorable. It's way too long and somewhat slow in many parts. Ralph Fiennes is good but everyone else was just ok. There were some beautiful desert landscapes.

"Hana" (Juliette Binoche) volunteers to remain in war-torn Italy to look after her badly burnt patient. Who is he? Well nobody knows. All he recalls is that he came from England and that some time ago he was married. The arrival of the enigmatic Canadian "Caravaggio" (Willem Dafoe) starts to unravel More
