The Sheltering Sky
Bernardo Bertolucci (THE CONFORMIST, THE LAST EMPEROR) directs this tale concerning three Americans who find more than they bargained for as they travel through post-war Africa: an adaptation of Paul Bowles's novel. Kit (Debra Winger) and Port (John Malkovich) are a married couple separated by a strange schism; they try to escape their alienation by moving deeper and deeper into the unfamiliar. Port is mesmerised, but it is Kit who must ultimately find the strength to survive in a world so unknown as to be dreamlike.

Are you a traveller or a tourist?
A very intelligent film. If you allow yourself to get taken on the journey from the familiar to the other- it really will get under your skin. It was a bit slow... read more »
