Cold Mountain
- Rating:
- Director: Anthony Minghella
- Starring: Jude Law
- Details: US / 124 mins / (15PG).
American Civil War weepie or pacifist war movie? No one seems too sure as the action cuts back and forth between a disillusioned Law making his way home from the front and Kidman keeping the home fires burning. Overlong, melodramatic, but beautifully photographed.
