It is a loosely connected series of beautifully shot romantic vignettes tied together by "the Director," (John Malkovich) who wanders around Italy observing the inhabitants of various cities: a beautiful young couple have two magical evenings three years apart; The Director learns the secret of a beautiful young woman (Sophie Marceau); a married man (Peter Weller) must choose between his young mistress or his loyal wife; and, finally, a young man (Vincent Perez) tries to win over an aloof young woman (Irene Jacob).

Reviews for Beyond the Clouds
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.
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.
It's [the] compelling sense of mystery, of the endless search and its undercurrent of loneliness, that sets this great filmmaker apart.
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.
