Movie Reviews of The Sheltering Sky
Movie Review: No cookie cutter drama here...
Summary: 5 Stars
I viewed the movie first, was so intriqued with it that I had to read the book. This movie, I believe was designed to most affect you after you have viewed it. It is after you have viewed the movie and sit back to reflect on the movie that you realize how powerful the movie is and how it seems to sum up what happens in long term love relationships (these affects are all around us as witnessed by our friends and nieghbors separations and divorces) as if somehow humans can't seem to stay monogamus past 5 to 10 years - though the pain delivered to both parties through infedelity is immense it seems to happen in many long term relationship again and again. I am single and am surrounded by failing marriages and relationships which seems to be a case in point. There seems to be a force pushing people to others after the chemistry of two people have settled - though companionship is a most vital quality of long term relationships. This movie outlines companionship even after the physical excitement has waned and the photo journalism of these characters lives in the desert is breathtaking. You will leave this movie with more of an emotional response than an analytical response, it is winding and vast and does not come together like a cookie cutter - paint by numbers movie. If you can sit through this drama, you will come away with a nod to the human condition agreeing with what we see in the movie and all around us.
