This afternoon, post-grocery shop and feeling rather satisfied with myself, I hear the news and find that I’m genuinely saddened (as opposed to tears of the crocodile variety I suppose) to hear of the sudden passing of the truly excellent Anthony Minghella.
Amongst many other gems, I’ll remember him best for directing one of my all-time favourite films Truly Madly Deeply (as I recall, I pretty much cried solidly from one minute in until the end of the damn thing) – what an incredibly truthful, charming and original foray into the nature of grief that was.
Thanks man.
RIP.
