    That sky, no matter how many times I look at it, is so quiet and beautiful. Ordinary days kill love, but death can wake it up like thunder, make it sublime, and cause the soul to be buried. You look at her eyes, what a huge difference before and after. Ryuichi Sakamoto's soundtrack is always so perfect, and Bertolucci is always able to interpret exotic flavors so...

    7 points. Bertolucci's Oriental Trilogy. The virtuous couple embarked on a journey of exile to relieve the post-war + tin marriage itch, but under the Saharan sky is not a paradise of paradise - what should be disintegrated, returned, retained, and escaped will not change.

    Kit Moresby: Port, don't be silly.
