Reviews for Beyond the Clouds
Top CriticThough not vintage Antonioni, this later work (supervised by Wim Wenders), a meditation on eros, love, and desire, features some of the most beautiful actresses working today: Fanny Ardant, Irene Jacob, and Sophie Marceau.

Antonioni seems to be using his absence from the scene as an opportunity to restate his vision, perhaps having a new generation of filmgoers in mind.
03/01/07
One of Fanny Ardant's lines sums up the rest of Beyond the Clouds: 'Everything seems ridiculous.'
08/29/06
Delightful recent film showing Antonioni's visual style.
08/22/06
It makes for entrancing cinema.
02/09/06
We find we're lucky enough if we can just get one story out of this two-hour ordeal, which wanders aimlessly in art-house hell as often as it enchants.
03/13/05
A bit dreamy, but in the way that leads to a doze.
07/10/03
Everybody likes a pretty face, but when it comes right down to the nitty-gritty, Beyond the Clouds lacks substance.
11/19/02
Musing on the power of inner thought and imagination, the film is far from deep, but instead feels superficial and one-dimensional.
11/19/02
See this film. It may be Antonioni's last.
11/19/02
There are a lot of beautiful things in Beyond the Clouds: the style, the settings, the bodies of young men and women—many of them beautiful in the vaguely blank way that models are.
11/19/02
Top CriticBeyond the Clouds is a magnificent coda to a career spent excavating images and probing the silences that exist between people.
11/19/02
There are moments of such astounding visual power in Michelangelo Antonioni's film Beyond the Clouds that you are all but transported through the screen to a place where the physical and emotional weather fuse into a palpable sadness.
11/19/02
Top CriticWhile famous for crafting films about incommunicability and alienation, Antonioni here delivers one that simply communicates nothing at all.
08/30/02
A wasted opportunity.
01/01/00
It is in the enigma of what it is the lover's want or why they are compelled to want certain things that makes this a fascinating film.
01/01/00
It's [the] compelling sense of mystery, of the endless search and its undercurrent of loneliness, that sets this great filmmaker apart.
01/01/00
Top CriticThe moments that work in this movie (and there are many) remind us that most other films of today still have a long way to go.
01/01/00
Antonioni's dreamy, pretentious fickle-finger-of-fate mini-tales struggle to wrestle with love and desire, but truck in adolescent ideas and delight in nothing so much as undressing their many young actresses.
