To all cinemaphiles in cyberspace I am writing a research project on Michael Ondaatje's novel "the English Patient" and its adaptation into a movie screenplay. As the film has only just been released in New Zealand, there is not a great deal of material on either Ondaatje or the Minghella film here. Can anyone help? Specifically, I am interested in accessing academic writings on the film, but I would also be keen to read American and other reviews of the film/adaptation, or to see what the critical in-crowd (New York Times etc) have to say about it. Please send any references, addresses or lists of websites etc to me at the address below (or should that be 'above'?) Thanks darlings!
