The English Pacient
A tribute to the timeless beauty of Tuscany, this film is set in different locations in the region during World War II. After being seriously injured in a plane crash, Count László Almásy (Ralph Fiennes), is staying in an abandoned cloister where Hana (Juliette Binoche), a young Canadian nurse, a war widow, takes care of him. The man remembers nothing about his past: the only clues to tracking his identity come from the book the mysterious count carries with him. Most of the scenes were filmed in Pienza, in the Val D’Orcia, between the Monastero di Sant’Anna in Camprena, Piazza Pio II and the Castello di Cosona; outdoor scenes were filmed in Ripafratta, in the province of Pisa, on the beach of Forte dei Marmi and Viareggio, where, within the Principe di Piemonte complex, the British consulate was installed.
