Breaking and Entering,a 2006 romantic drama, is Academy Award-winning director Anthony Minghella's first original screenplay since his 1991 feature debut, Truly, Madly, Deeply.
The film stars Jude Law -- whom Minghella directed in Cold Mountain and The Talented Mr. Ripley -- and Juliette Binoche, from The English Patient, also directed by Anthony Minghella.
In a major supporting role, Robin Wright Penn plays Liv, the long-standing girlfriend of Will (Jude Law's character).
Rafi Gavron, in his first major film role, portrays Miro. The role, that of a young traceur, and the burglar to which the film's title partly alludes, requires Gavron to perform several difficult physical feats.
The film, shot and set in Kings Cross, a blighted, inner-city neighbourhood of London, examines an affair which unfolds between a successful British landscape architect and a Bosnian woman -- the mother of a troubled teen son -- who was widowed by the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
It is a presentation of Miramax Films and The Weinstein Company and will be distributed in the U.S. by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM). It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Will Francis (Jude Law) is a young landscape architect living a cold, routine-based life with his girlfriend Liv (Robin Wright Penn) and her behaviourally challenged daughter Bea in London. After his state-of-the-art offices in the Kings Cross area are repeatedly burgled, he stakes out the building hoping to catch the culprit. Spotting a teenage traceur (Rafi Gavron) attempting to break in, Will attempts to follow him. This pursuit leads Will to the mysterious Amira (Juliette Binoche), a seamstress with whom he becomes emotionally entangled, causing him to re-evaluate his life. Conflict arises when the police close in on the burglars, and Will must make a crucial choice which will affect the lives of everyone around him.

- The techniques used to burgle Green Effect come from parkour, a physical discipline and recreational activity of French origin whose practitioners are called traceurs. Sometimes confused with free running, a related discipline derived from parkour, the art, as it is called by some practitioners, has gained in popularity in urban areas, particularly in Europe, during the early 21st century.
