4.0 out of 5 stars Visually ravishing and a joy to watch., 26 May 2000
Ralph Fiennes transforms himself utterly into the obsessive innocent, Oscar, in a quiet, powerful story of two very unlikely people of overwhelming passions who find their ideal counterpart in each other. Cate Blanchett is a bundle of spikey energy as Lucinda and the supporting cast all turn in excellent performances. The tension is inexorably built up towards a shattering climax, with a surprising twist in the unsentimental ending. The film is visually ravishing and a joy to watch throughout, scene after scene is breathtakingly beautiful. A stunning, epic conception from start to finish. Magnificent.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful film, 18 Aug 2004
By A Customer
I just happened on this film late one night, when I couldn't sleep - and I was mesmerised. It is everything all the other reviewers have already said - a very good story, well-acted, beautifully shot, happy, sad - just brilliant. I have never really been a fan of Ralph Fiennes - but this film (and Eugene Onegin) made me re-think. I've been looking out for it again on the cable channels and I've been looking out for a copy in the usual retail outlets for ages - just didn't think to look on Amazon ! I don't often watch films more than once but this is one of the few exceptions ! Watch it !

5.0 out of 5 stars A treat from start to finsish
Oscar and Lucinda is a beautifully sensitive but not over-sentimental story of two mis-fits who fall in-love. The photography is stunning and the acting top class. Read more
