Summary of Beyond the Clouds

Antonioni's first film since suffering a stroke in 1985 is based on stories from his book THAT BOWLING ALLEY IN THE TIBER and was realized with help from Wim Wenders. It is a loosely connected series of beautifully shot romantic vignettes tied together by "the Director," (John Malkovich) who wanders around Italy observing the inhabitants of various cities: a beautiful young couple have two magical evenings three years apart; The Director learns the secret of a beautiful young woman (Sophie Marceau); a married man (Peter Weller) must choose between his young mistress or his loyal wife; and, finally, a young man (Vincent Perez) tries to win over an aloof young woman (Irene Jacob).

The impact of these stories is not in the words but in the way the mood, texture and the acting build each situation into a visually intense parable about the similarity of spiritual, erotic and aesthetic aspiration. Full Review

San Francisco Chronicle

It's that compelling sense of mystery, of the endless search and its undercurrent of loneliness, that sets this great filmmaker apart. Full Review
