"The Sheltering Sky"
1990
Directed by Bernardo Bertolucci

John Malkovich and Debra Winger star as an unfortunate pair of American tourists adrift in the deserts of North Africa. Bernardo Bertolucci brings this Paul Bowles novel to the screen and tries his best to capture in images, the words and intentions of the author. Vincent Canby called this "Bertolucci's most seductive, most hypnotic movie." With Campbell Scott, Jill Bennett, Timothy Spall and Eric Vu-An.  English. 139 minutes.
