Product Description

Lovingly directed by one of Italy's greatest filmmakers, Michelangelo Antonioni's award-winning Beyond the Clouds opened to great popular and critical acclaim in Europe, eclipsing its success when recently brought to American theaters. The film is the latest in Antonioni's long and distinguished film career, recognized in 1994 with an Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement. Told from the perspective of a wandering film director, this exquisitely photographed, lyrical film, set in such beautiful European locales as Portofino and Paris, draws from Antonioni's own writing, weaving four stories of love and lust in several perplexing, unrequited or unresolved relationships. Co-directed by Wim Wenders, the film boasts an outstanding international cast, including John Malkovich as the Director, Sophie Marceau, Irene Jacob, Jean Reno, Vincent Perez, and Peter Weller, as well as a moving musical score, including songs by Van Morrison, U2 and Brian Eno.

Customer Reviews

Buyer beware
Im writing this review to let you know to beware of whom you get this movie from. amazon unfortunately does'nt carry this movie so you have to get it from someone else. Just to let you know the Korean version is edited with bib black circles. It's no ones fault , but the sellers of the DVD don,t seem to want you to know that. Esp. bestbuyvds. When I mentioned my dissapointment with the DVD to them they were very defensive and unprofessional about it. Just a little heads up. If you can get a good version of the movie go for it.

oh oh Caveat Emptor
Feels like 3rd generation copy. No film studio identified on (sub-par printshop) cover, package seems copy-ish and mostly in korean characters, film less sharp but slightly more jittery than hollywood. Way better than bootleg quality though, and great price(considering it's out of dist)/ reliable shipping. NOW: this says unedited version but it IS very censored ! NO CROTCH SHOTS!! Only big black
conspicuous circles instead. This is not the bargain version you've been waiting for! --unless you are the "censorship priest" from Cinema paradiso. Well, you get what you pay for. Maybe we should Petition Canal+ for re-release!!
