The Sheltering Sky (1990) directed by Bernardo Bertolucci.
Bernardo Bertolucci's cinematographic career is little bit similar to that of Wim Wenders.Both these European directors have made some of the most outstanding world cinema films in their own countries using their native languages:Italian and German.However there are some bad spots on their illustrious careers.They both failed miserably whenever they have decided to make films in English.If given an opportunity to disown a film is provided,without any hesitation most of Bernardo Bertolucci's admirers would surely like to abandon "The Sheltering Sky".This film suffers from too many western prejudices against powerless people of various African ethnic groups.As far as this film's plot is concerned,it is just too superfluous.Apart from Malkovich and Winger none of the players have given any proof of their acting talent.The only reason plausible reason for which any sensible film admirer must watch this film is the film's photography.The next best possible reason for watching this film might be the promotion of tourism in Africa.The sheltering sky can be used as a tourist video for those unfortunate souls who have never been to some of the best spots in Africa.
