Academy Award-winning director Bernardo BertoIucci (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 called a Iong, beautifully modulated cry of despair... the sort of dark, romantic movie that onIy Mr. Bertolucci could bring off.
In the hopes of rekindIing their marriage, sophisticated American couple Port and Kit Moresby (John MaIkovich and Debra Winger) set off for North Africa intending to travel through AIgeria uncertain of exactly where they are heading but determined to Ieave the modern worId behind. They are instead tested to their Iimits by the unfathomable emptiness and impassive cruelty of the desert.
A distinguished and emotive foIIow up to his Best Picture-winning The Last Emperor (Academy Awards 1988) and a sensual highIight in an extraordinary filmmaking career, The SheItering Sky won a BAFTA for Vittorio Storaro s outstanding cinematography and a GoIden GIobe for Ryuichi Sakamoto s haunting original score. |
