At 1.35 today I heard the shocking news that Oscar winning director Anthony Minghella had died at the age of 54. He was a director whose work I looked forward to every year and his death is very sad not only for his family and friends, but also for an industry that will never again be touched by his immense talent. By way of tribute, rather than look at a career retrospective, which is certainly warranted with such films as the 9 time Oscar winner The English Patient, multiple Oscar nominee Cold Mountain and 2006's absorbing Breaking and Entering, I'll concentrate on what I believe to be his best work: The Talented Mr Ripley. The extended review will appear tomorrow.
