Those who haven't read the book will be left bewildered.

Soul 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.

The 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.

Bertolucci's grand desert epic gets stuck in the sand right at the start.

Filled with stunning visuals.

A disappointingly reductive adaptation of Paul Bowles's first novel.

A long, beautifully modulated cry of despair.

Brimming 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.

As you'd expect, it's a big, handsome film, rich and strange in psychological depths and eroticism. Malkovich and Winger play woundingly well.

Disappointing.

[A] frustrating, monotonously obscure movie.
