I was not moved myself to write about Anthony Minghella following his shocking and tragic death, but if i had been, I'd like to think that I would have written something as pitch perfect as this piece by Asad Raza on 3 Quarks Daily. Minghella isn't one of my favorite filmmakers, but we do own The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) and I can certainly appreciate his other films, including The English Patient (1996), a movie that has been subject to far too much post-hoc revisionist criticism, especially after that Seinfeld episode.
