OFFICERS AND GENTLEMEN.(The Constant Gardener)(Movie Review)
As if to warn that we are entering a disorderly world, "The Constant Gardener" starts with a farewell. Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes) waves goodbye to his wife, Tessa (Rachel Weisz), as she heads toward a plane. She is accompanied by their friend Dr. Bluhm (Hubert Kounde)--better known as Arnold--who shoulders her bag as they go. The screen turns white, as though invaded by ghosts, and Justin never sees his wife alive again. The rest of Fernando Meirelles's film, shuttling around in time, continents, and mood, tells us who these people are, examines the ties that bind them, and ponders the death not just of Tessa but of Arnold, too, and those of several million others.
