The TVI Take

1996 Best Picture winner. Nonlinear wartime romance unfolding through memories of a burned pilot.

High cognitive demands from the fractured timeline and multiple narrative threads. Educational value from the North African WWII setting and cartographic history. Visually stunning with Ralph Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas.
