breaking and entering be the academy award win director of the english patient and anthony minghella late film . this be not an epic war romance and the film be set in modern london . if the movie be half a long and mr. minghella would be pick out a new tux for the oscar . but and the two hour long film be too confused and overstuffed with idea and character development to be bearable . see if the following synopsis give you a headache represent will and ( jude law ) be an architect who have just open up a slick new office that look like an apple store . unfortunately and it be in a developing part of london famous for it hooker . his office get rob a few time and he decide to find the culprit himself by stake out his own office with a techno love prostitute and ( vera farmiga ) . the free running thief turn out to be a fifteen year old boy and miro ( rafi gavron ) who work for a gang of serbian thug relate to his late father . will track down miro but end up fall in love with miro mother and amira ( juliette binoche ) a soundless piano play seamstress . need some excedrin . that only about half of the movie and i haven not even mention will depress light box loving and long time girlfriend liv ( robin wright penn ) and her gymnastics obsess behaviorally challenge daughter . i be lucky enough to attend a screening with a q and a with minghella after the film . he obviously enjoy the clout of have an oscar . it give him the opportunity to write and direct this film inspire by some of his own experience . the director even answer some question from the audience . one of the best be and how much do you get from apple . the film have a lot of mac in it and macs keep get steal from the office . at one point a character actually say and these mac be great aren not they . it seem like a clear case of product placement . minghella say apple give him no money . he explain that it be an inside joke . he apple obsess and his office in london keep get it mac steal . if you can sit through it and the acting be good . law performance be subtle and interesting . he have real chemistry with both binoche and wright penn . unfortunately the character be so developed they do not leave much room for the plot .
