 | | Beyond the Clouds could be described as stories of the endeavor to capture reality, efforts that somehow miss the mysterious essence of the thing that the heart would keep. |
 | | At the end of his life, then, Antonioni--all but mute from a stroke, yet directing with notes, gestures and the help of his wife--confessed to the elusiveness of what he tried to capture on film during his career. |
 | | Beyond the Clouds (unrated; 105 min.), directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, written by Antonioni, Tonino Guerra and Wim Wenders, photographed by Alfio Cotini and starring John Malkovich, Sophie Marceau, Fanny Ardant, Peter Weller and Vincent Perez, opens Friday at Camera 3 in San Jose. |
