Critic Reviews of "The Sheltering Sky"
Chicago ReaderDecember 07, 2007A disappointingly reductive adaptation of Paul Bowles's first novel.
Time OutJune 24, 2006As you'd expect, it's a big, handsome film, rich and strange in psychological depths and eroticism. Malkovich and Winger play woundingly well.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003A long, beautifully modulated cry of despair.
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 01, 2000The book is so complete, so deep and so self-contained that it shuts the movie out. Bertolucci shows us the outsides and the surfaces, and a person seeing this movie without having read the book might ask what it is about.
TV GuideDecember 07, 2007Brimming with obscure meaning and devoid of drive and fervor, the film dries up in that symbolic desert sun, the victim of its own pretensions and a casualty of trying to film something best suited to the realm of cult literature.
Filmcritic.comDecember 06, 2005Bertolucci's grand desert epic gets stuck in the sand right at the start.
Worcester Telegram & GazetteJanuary 30, 2004(No quote available.)
James Sanford on FilmAugust 05, 2003Soul searching is rarely a thrill a minute but it's rarely as tedious as this. ...Oscar-bait it may be, but "The Sheltering Sky" is more deserving of the First Annual Chicken Little Award.
