The Constant Gardener

I thought this was an excellent movie. First, it simply looked amazing. The cinematography of César Charlone was terrific, capturing the breathtaking beauty of the setting in Kenya, the ugliness of the poverty in the villages, and the general sense of unease that pervaded the story. And second, the story was full of complexity and subtlety with well developed characters and a compelling storyline.

Congrats to Rachel Weisz for getting the Oscar. Though it is puzzling to me that the film garnered only 3 other Oscar nominations.

    A copy of which you gave me to read several months back. I will devour it after I tackle "A Scanner Darkly."
