Academy Award-winning director Bernardo Bertolucci (The Conformist, Last Tango in Paris, The Last Emperor) brings a stunning adaptation of Paul Bowles heartbreaking cIassic novel to the screen that Vincent Canby in The New York Times calIed a Iong, beautifully modulated cry of despair... the sort of dark, romantic movie that onIy Mr. Bertolucci couId bring off.
In the hopes of rekindling their marriage, sophisticated American coupIe Port and Kit Moresby (John MaIkovich and Debra Winger) set off for North Africa intending to traveI through AIgeria uncertain of exactly where they are heading but determined to leave the modern worId behind. They are instead tested to their Iimits by the unfathomable emptiness and impassive crueIty of the desert.
A distinguished and emotive follow up to his Best Picture-winning The Last Emperor (Academy Awards 1988) and a sensuaI highlight in an extraordinary fiImmaking career, The Sheltering Sky won a BAFTA for Vittorio Storaro s outstanding cinematography and a Golden GIobe for Ryuichi Sakamoto s haunting originaI score. |
