Those who are asking WHO? Obviously dont watch real FILMS. They read InTouch and watch crap MOVIES and TMZ every night.
Perhaps they should be posting under a Paris Hilton, or Miley Cyrus story….
RIP Anthony - a truly great director.
Those of you who are post “Who” would you please read the damn article? It tells you very clearly who Anthony Minghella was and what his credits are. If you haven’t seen any of those films then his passing won’t affect you. But to post “I don’t know who this is” in an obib posting is just tacky and disrepectful.
That was sad, he rarely made films and he had yet to make his real masterpiece. I loved The Talented Mr Ripley.
Wow I’m shocked. I really liked his work. I was looking forward to more of his work in the opera world. RIP.
Sad! JustJared, he is also survived by a daughter, Hannah, who worked with him on his films sometimes! Don’t leave her out!
wonderful filmmaker. rest in peace.
Such creative and talented man. A very sad loss to the movie industry, especially here in the uk
