Wow, this is out of the blue. Oscar winning director Anthony Minghella has died. I will post more on this when more details are released (so far, nothing has been). I was never the biggest fan of his films but they always had an aura of quality about them. He executive produced last years Michael Clayton and has a film coming out later this year, The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, which has already been picked up to become a series on HBO. Like I said, more on this as details start to emerge.
Probably his most famous film was The English Patient which tells of a burn victim’s tortured recollections of his misdeeds in time of war and was later used as joke on a pretty bad Seinfeld episode.
It won nine Oscars in all, including best picture, best supporting actress for Juliette Binoche, and a raft of technical Oscars including best film editing, best costume design and cinematography.
