THE SHELTERING SKY

1990 / 138' / Italy, U.K. / In English with Chinese subtitles / Color

A married American couple globetrots to North Africa in the late ’40s with the hopes of re-sparking their love and adding some zest to their lackluster lives. Along for the ride is the pair’s friend, George Tunner, who soon begins having an affair with the wife. As they struggle through the numbing heat of Africa, each of the trio sees his and her beliefs and lives challenged.
