Breaking and Entering

13 Aug 2011 - Breaking and Entering is a great film which went almost unnoticed. The film is directed by Academy Award-winning director Anthony Minghella. The film stars Jude Law (whom Minghella directed in Cold Mountain and The Talented Mr. Ripley) and Juliette Binoche (from The English patient, also by Minghella). In a major supporting role, the fabulous Robin Penn Wright plays Liv, the long-standing girlfriend of Will (Jude Law's character). The world was shocked by the UK riots this week, and Minghella's film is set in a blighted, inner-city neighbourhood of London. Thee fiolm examines an affair which unfolds between a successful architect and Amira, a Bosnian woman – the mother of a troubled teen son – who was widowed by the wwar in former Yugoslavia.Ravi Gavron, in his first major film role, portrays Miro. The role, that of a young traceur, and the burglar to which the film's title partly alludes, requires Gavron to perform several difficult physical feats.Breaking and Entering premièred on September 13, 2006 at the Toronto International Film Festival and received mainly negative reviews. I loved the movie!
