	Contemplations on Paul Bowles' The Sheltering Sky
		The Sheltering Sky is the story of a naive American couple who travel into the Sahara, lose themselves in another culture and are destroyed.
		Paul Bowles described The Sheltering Sky as "an adventure story in which the actual adventures take place on two planes simultaneously: in the actual desert and in the inner desert of the spirit." The adventure has an aura of both fascination and dread.
		The Sheltering Sky is considered one of the seminal novels of mid-20th century American fiction.

		Likewise, "The Sheltering Sky" is a demanding film, but for me it falls into the realm of those least likable.
		It is no doubt quite difficult to portray self-indulgence without the work itself taking on an air of arrogance; and certainly "The Sheltering Sky" fails on that level, despite the impressive location photography, a fine score by Ryuichi Sakamoto and an excellent lead performance by Debra Winger.
		"The Sheltering Sky" is rated R for quite a bit of sex and nudity, with some profanity and violence.

	Amazon.ca: The Sheltering Sky: Books: Paul Bowles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Sheltering Sky aspires to be a sweeping, elegiac novel in which the protagonists' confrontations with the hostile, foreign elements of both nature and humankind provide a figurative structure from within which the author can make beautiful, momentous and pithy observations on our modern lives.
		Overall The Sheltering Sky is an excellent story about how Three American travelers are tragically link to a culture that they, like most travelers do not know very much about in that they failed to take in the realities such as the heat, food, disease, and the native people intil it was too late.
		The Sheltering Sky is a good book, but it starts slow and never manages to evolve into any kind of a page-turner.

	The Sheltering Sky (John's Book Pages)
		The Sheltering Sky is about three Americans, Port and Kit Moresby and their friend Tunner, who travel to Morocco a few years after the Second World War.
		There are many contrasts at work in The Sheltering Sky: between the pragmatic natives and the ugly Americans, between the harsh and unreasoning nature of the desert and the dim conception of its dangers that the travelers have, and between the finiteness of life and our perception that it will last forever.
		Since all the main characters in The Sheltering Sky are dislikable, the enjoyment in reading the story comes not from them or their horrifying situations, but rather from Bowles' polished prose.

	‘The Sheltering Sky’ (R)
		In his 1949 novel "The Sheltering Sky," Paul Bowles devotes about as much energy to not saying what he means to say as he does to saying it.
		In telling his story, the author engages in a kind of literary dance of the seven veils; he just can't seem to come across with it.
		Bertolucci's "The Sheltering Sky" is about voyages and transformation.

	‘The Sheltering Sky’ (R)
		There's a silent, prolonged crashing going on in "The Sheltering Sky." It's a feature-length collision between Paul Bowles's existentially bleak novel of 1949 and director Bernardo Bertolucci's rhapsodic interpretation.
		For their parts, Winger and Malkovich follow a spiraling descent very credibly; Winger is particularly effective as a woman slightly on the edge of consciousness, sanity and certainly happiness.
		Whatever the answer, it's lovely to have him on screen, in much the same way addict-writer William Burroughs gave authentic zest to Gus van Sant's "Drugstore Cowboy." Bowles's gentle, avian features, the obvious wisdom of his years and his distinctive presence are practically worth the price of admission.

	Review: The Sheltering Sky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Disease is one of the potent metaphors of The Sheltering Sky, Bernardo Bertolucci's haunting film of Paul Bowles's celebrated novel.
		It suggests the hopelessness of these characters' longing for rejuvenation, and it also has larger political reverberations, hinting at the submergence of Western culture in the sands of the Sahara.
		The Sheltering Sky is both timely and timeless, a despairing masterwork.

		In Bernardo Bertolucci's adaptation of Paul Bowles' novel The Sheltering Sky, an American couple (Debra Winger and John Malkovich) travel to North Africa in the late '40s with the hopes of resparking their love and their lackluster lives.
		Despite some wonderful visuals and photography, The Sheltering Sky is far too slowly-paced and convoluted to appeal to most viewers.
		Though Bertolucci and the cast desperately try to convey the hallucinatory power of Bowles' book, most of their efforts are confusing and far too obtuse to translate to film.
