Breaking in, breaking up, breaking the law–reality and metaphor crash loudly and with muted intensity throughout this brilliant, multilayered drama by the talented Mr. Anthony Minghella (Cold Mountain, The English Patient). A successful landscape architect, Will (Jude Law) and his partner open a new high-tech office in London's sketchy King's Cross neighborhood, where they've planned a grand redevelopment project. Within days, the office is repeatedly burglarized, and in the aftermath relationships quickly begin to unravel and intersect. Staking out the office in hopes of intercepting the thieves, Will catches Miro, a teenage refugee from Sarajevo, in the act. Rather than have him arrested, Will finds himself impulsively drawn toward Miro's single mother, Amira (Juliette Binoche). With distance growing between Will and Liv, his long-term Swedish-American girlfriend (Robin Wright Penn), Will becomes enmeshed in a complex tale of honesty, fidelity, ethnicity, class and the fierce devotion of a mother to her child. — J. Parsont
