Obituary: Anthony Minghella
British film director and writer Anthony Minghella has died aged 54.
Minghella's films included The English Patient - which earned him an Oscar for best director in 1997 - as well as Truly, Madly, Deeply and Cold Mountain.
He suffered a haemorrhage in London days after having surgery for cancer of the tonsils and neck, his US agent Leslee Dart said.
Jude Law, who worked with Minghella on three films, said he was "deeply shocked and saddened" at the news.
The actor described him as "a brilliantly talented writer and director" and "a sweet, warm, bright and funny man".
He was one of Britain's greatest creative talents, one of our finest screen writers and directors

Law's co-star in The Talented Mr Ripley, Gwyneth Paltrow, said Minghella was "a wonderful man" who was "so interested in art and making the world better for art".
Actor Kevin Spacey praised the director as "one of the greats".
Film producer and friend Lord Puttnam said the industry would be "very shocked" to lose their "very well-loved" colleague.
"He started as a writer, he was not a stylist as a director," he said. "He saw himself as a storyteller and his films were very well told, beautifully made and beautifully acted."
UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who was directed by Minghella in a Labour Party broadcast before the 2005 General Election, also paid tribute.

He said: "He was one of Britain's greatest creative talents, one of our finest screen writers and directors, a great champion of the British film industry and expert on literature and opera."
Minghella had an operation for cancer last week, his representatives said.
Leslee Dart said: "The surgery had gone well and they were very optimistic. But he developed a haemorrhage last night and they were not able to stop it."
He died at about 0500 GMT on Tuesday at the Charing Cross Hospital in Hammersmith, west London.
Minghella's other roles included being chairman of the British Film Institute.
He had also directed a TV episode of book The No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency.

BBC film correspondent Tom Brook, speaking in New York, said Minghella was held in "very high regard by the artistic community".

He made his directorial debut in Truly, Madly, Deeply, in 1991.
He went on to write and direct film adaptations of Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient and Patricia Highsmith's The Talented Mr Ripley.

《英國病人》(English Patient)和《冷山》(Cold Moutain)的導演安東尼-明格拉(Anthony Minghella)本週二被經紀人確認死亡,享年54歲。關於這位導演去世的細節目前還不得而知。
明格拉曾經因1996年的影片《英國病人》(The English Patient)獲得過奧斯卡最佳導演獎,他還執導了多部著名的文學作品改編影片,其中包括《天才裡普雷先生》(The Talented Mr.Ripley)和《冷山》。
明格拉最近在博茨瓦納拍攝一部根據亞歷山大-麥格科-史密斯(Alexander McCall Smith)的小說《第一女士偵探》(The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency)改編的影片,這部影片本來將於本週在英國電視台播出。這部影片是它所屬系列的第一部,故事的主角是一位博茨瓦納偵探。美國的HBO電視台還曾為這個系列下了十三集的訂單。
博茨瓦納總統費斯圖斯-莫哈埃(Festus Mogae)身邊的新聞秘書長傑夫-拉姆齊(Jeff Ramsay)就此事發言,表示明格拉的去世是一次「震驚和巨大的損失」。他說這名導演來到博茨瓦納是為了拍攝和瞭解這裡的風俗。「他十分出名,連我們的總統都知道他。」
新聞秘書長還說,「他十分優秀並且對於能夠拍攝麥格科-史密斯的改編影片感到十分榮幸。他們二人都為這部影片能夠在博茨瓦納拍攝做出了巨大的努力,對於這位導演的光臨我們也感到十分榮幸。」
傑夫還談到了明格拉和他以前關於《冷山》的談話,明格拉說這部影片是被迫在美國和羅馬尼亞拍攝的。當明格拉來到博茨瓦納之後發現以前的決定錯了,這部影片「只有在博茨瓦納才能被拍好。」
明格拉出生於1954年,在英國懷特島長大,父母靠開冰淇淋店維持生計。
在1990年第一次踏上導演崗位之前明格拉一直是編劇,他所執導的第一部電影名為《甦醒》(Truly, Madly, Deeply),這部浪漫喜劇片由朱麗葉-史蒂文森(Juliet Stevenson)和阿倫-瑞克曼(Alan Rickman)出演。
明格拉最出名的作品為《英國病人》,這是一部關於二戰的史詩片,曾經拿下包括最佳畫面在內的九座奧斯卡獎。 |
