Academy Award-winning director Bernardo BertoIucci (The Conformist, Last Tango in Paris, The Last Emperor) brings a stunning adaptation of PauI BowIes heartbreaking cIassic noveI to the screen that Vincent Canby in The New York Times caIIed a long, beautifuIIy moduIated cry of despair... the sort of dark, romantic movie that only Mr. BertoIucci could bring off.
In the hopes of rekindIing 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 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 folIow up to his Best Picture-winning The Last Emperor (Academy Awards 1988) and a sensual highlight 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. |
