Editorial Reviews

From director Bernardo Bertolucci, The Sheltering Sky is a filmed adaptation of the novel of the same name by Paul Bowles. Debra Winger and John Malkovich star as Kit and Port Moresby, a married American couple who globetrot to North Africa in the late '40s with the hopes of re-sparking their love and adding some zest to their lackluster lives. Along for the ride is the pair's friend George Tunner (Campbell Scott), who soon begins having an affair with Kit. As they struggle through the numbing heat of Africa amidst the sudden love triangle, each of the trio sees his and her beliefs and lives challenged. The Sheltering Sky earned a Best Director nomination for Bertolucci at the 1991 Golden Globe Awards. Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

July 21, 2008: This movie was so bad that I read the book to see if I had missed or misunderstood something. Both truly appa led me. Scenes seem designed to offend and all of it seems pointless. THe characters are unattractive in appearance and repulsive in conduct. I kept expecting Dan Ackroydd to appear and ask, &quot Hideoulsy bad, was it not?&quot , as if from an old episode of &quot Bad THeatre&quot from &quot Saturday Night Live&quot .

January 21, 2003: This release ''excludes'' a number of important sceens. Specifically after Port has died and Kit takes refuge with the passing caravan. Disappointing to say the least! If your search is for the ''uncut'' version ...this is NOT it.
