THE SHELTERING SKY... O CÉU QUE NOS PROTEGE...

The Sheltering Sky, directed by Bernando Bertolucci, is a great movie, one of my favorite movies, starring Debra Winger (she looks extremely gorgeous in this film), John Malkovich and Campbell Scott. I love the music, the actor's performance, the costume design, the scenery, the photography. I watched this film many times...The music composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto is amazingly beautiful! If you have not seen this movie before, I strongly recommend it. 
O Céu que nos Protege é um excelente filme, um dos meus favoritos, dirigido por Bernardo Bertolucci e interpretado por Debra Winger (ela está belíssima neste filme), John Malkovich e Campbell Scott. Gosto muito da música, da interpretação dos atores, do figurino, do cenário, da fotografia. Já assisti a este filme muitas vezes... A música composta por Ryuichi Sakamoto é incrivelmente bela! Eu recomendo com entusiasmo para aqueles que ainda não viram este filme.


The opening title sequence and the first scene when they arrive at the dock are really wonderful!




"The Sheltering Sky" soundtrack is beautiful!




Ryuichi Sakamoto is just great!





The Sheltering Sky is a 1990 British-Italian drama film based on the 1949 novel by the writer Paul Bowles (who narrates the film and appears in a cameo role) about a couple who journey to northern Africa in the hopes of rekindling their marriage but soon fall prey to the dangers that surround them. Three Americans from New York arrive in Tangier in 1947. Port Moresby (John Malkovich) and his wife Kit (Debra Winger) are accompanied by their friend George Tunner (Campbell Scott) on a trip that will take them deep into the Sahara Desert. Tunner observes, "We're probably the first tourists they've had since the war" to which Kit replies, "We're not tourists. We're travelers." While Tunner plans to return home in a few weeks, Port and Kit plan on staying for a year or two.
O Céu que nos Protege é um filme ítalo-britânico de 1990, do gênero drama, baseado na novela escrita em 1949 pelo escritor Paul Bowles (que narra o filme a aparece em pequenas cenas).  O filme narra a história de um casal que viaja para o norte da África na esperança de reacender o seu casamento. Os três norte-americanos de Nova Iorque chegam a Tânger em 1947. Port Moresby (John Malkovich) e sua esposa Kit (Debra Winger) são acompanhados pelo amigo George Tunner (Campbell Scott) em uma viagem que irá levá-los a conhecer as remotas regiões do deserto do Saara. Tunner observa: "Nós somos provavelmente os primeiros turistas após a guerra". Ao que Kit responde: "Nós não somos turistas, somos viajantes". Enquanto Tunner planeja voltar para casa em poucas semanas, Port e Kit pretendem ficar por um ano ou dois.

Quote about the difference between tourists and travelers and another quotes:
Port Moresby: Well, terra firma.
Tunner: We're probably the first tourists they've had since the war.
Kit Moresby: Tunner, we're not tourists. We're travelers.
Tunner: Oh. What's the difference?
Port Moresby: A tourist is someone who thinks about going home the moment they arrive, Tunner.
Kit Moresby: Whereas a traveler might not come back at all.
Tunner: You mean *I'm* a tourist.
Kit Moresby: Yes, Tunner. And I'm half and half.
