Anthony Minghella


I was very saddened today to find out that writer, director, producer Anthony Minghella died at the far too young age of 54. I am a big fan of his, he was enormously talented. My favorite movie, as I've mentioned before, is Truly Madly Deeply which Minghella wrote and which marked his directorial debut. It stands to me as one of the most beautiful, sweet, funny, emotional films of all time. Of course, Minghella went on to create many more films such as The Talented Mr. Ripley, The English Patient and Cold Mountain. I was always excited to see what Anthony Minghella was going to do next, his was a name I looked for and knew that quality work would accompany that name. Sad.
