Movie
The Sheltering Sky
Synopsis
Director Bernardo Bertolucci and producer Jeremy Thomas (the creative forces behind the multi-Oscar-winning The Last Emperor) reteam to bring Paul Bowles' classic novel to the screen. John Malkovich and Debra Winger take the lead roles of Port and Kit Moresby, an American couple who travel to North Africa in the late 1940s, with opportunistic travelling companion Tunner (Campbell Scott) in tow. Journeying further and further from civilisation, driven by ego and the search for some intangible thing that will make some sense of their relationship, the pair soon find themselves face-to-face with disease, death and the desert itself. Bowles himself appears as a removed spectator who follows his characters' progress from the safety of a Tangiers cafe.
