5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece, 6 Mar 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Beyond The Clouds [1994] [VHS] [1997] (VHS Tape)
Most of the reviews of these wonderful four stories are rather chilly and reserved, but for me it's one of best pieces of visual artwork I've ever come across. It's either you take it, or leave it, doesn't matter if the stories could have happened or not and if the characters behave reasonably or otherwise. Give it a try and you'll return to it. BTW - the music is exceptional.

3.0 out of 5 stars A mix bag of misguided brilliance, 5 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Beyond The Clouds [1994] [VHS] [1997] (VHS Tape)
A beautifully shot film. Though at times the continental soundtrack and the in your face scenarios makes you wonder if this is some kind of soft porn film. There are some haunting scenarios (all has been performed well), but some should have been left on the cutting floor. The least plausible one makes you wonder just how does John Malkovich's character gets to bed Sophie Marceau. Even though they are just characters, it makes you wonder if they were only included just to involve the repective famed actors.

Nevertheless, for fans of European Cinema (especially Antonioni) viewing is recommended. For me, this art film walks on a fine line of pretension and genuine liberation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't make sense of it - but loved it anyway!, 18 April 2007
The first time I watched this film I was slightly bored - couldn't understand what was being said or why. However, having watched it again recently I took each 'story' at face value and found myself thoroughly enjoying the beautiful camera work and actually making some sense of what the film was about and the various themes at play.

if you're not interested in watching films about the genesis of ideas, this is definitely not for you, but if you just want to sit back and watch a couple of hours of beautiful film making, I would reccomend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beyond reality.
