The Constant Gardener DVD Report


Based on the novel by John Le Carre, The Constant Gardener finds us in a remote area of Northern Kenya, where activist Tessa Quayle (Rachel Weisz) is found brutally murdered. Tessas companion, a doctor, appears to have fled the scene, and the evidence points to a crime of passion. Members of the British High Commission in Nairobi assume that Tessa's widower, their mild-mannered and unambitious colleague Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes), will leave the matter to them. They could not be more wrong.

Haunted by remorse and jarred by rumors of his late wife's infidelities, Quayle surprises everyone by embarking on a personal odyssey that will take him across three continents. Using his privileged access to diplomatic secrets, he will risk his own life, stopping at nothing to uncover and expose the truth; a conspiracy more far-reaching and deadly than Quayle could ever have imagined.

I bought The Constant Gardener because it was written by Le Carre, and what a great movie it is, if your looking for action, your in the wrong place, this its a gentle movie with powerful acting by Weisz and Fiennes! Excellent!
