A Mighty Heart (2007)

Posted on 14:24 by john cena
Highly Recommended
UK/USA
Feature Film
Director: Michael Winterbottom
Writers: John Orloff, Mariane Pearl
Cinematographer: Marcel Zyskind
Composers: Harry Escott, Molly Nyman
Cast: Angelina Jolie, Dan Futterman, Archie Panjabi, Irfan Khan, Will Patton, Denis O'Hare, Adnan Siddiqui, Gary Wilmes

The terribly inconsistent Winterbottom’s best film so far, based on the factual book by Mariane Pearl, chronicling Pakistani and American attempts to locate her kidnapped journalist husband in Karachi, A Mighty Heart is an intimate, briskly paced, naturalistic, suspenseful, beautifully performed (Irfan Khan, in particular, is excellent), and ultimately devastatingly moving minor-masterpiece, which explores the stories behind the headlines.
