From director Bernardo Bertolucci comes this epic dramatisation of Paul Bowles' novel. Starring John Malkovich and Debra Winger, this is an extraordinary voyage of vision, redemption and love. Yearning for adventure and an escape from a suffocating, repressive society, Port and his wife Kit embark on a mammoth trek across North Africa. Accompanied by their friend George Turner (Campbell Scott), they struggle to maintain their bond as the relationship between the group is put to the test.
Their journey is an exploration of themselves and their desire to find each other. But first they must explore their own sexuality and spirituality. The Sheltering Sky is a story of loyalty, repression and discovery. With cinematography by Italian maestro Vittorio Storaro (Apocalypse Now), this beautiful, lush masterpiece will inspire you.
