A Walk in the Clouds

A Walk in the Clouds (1995) starring Keanu Reeves, Aitana Sanchez-Gijon, Anthony Quinn, Giancarlo Giannini, Debra Messing. Paul Sutton (Reeves) returns from World War II to find that the wife he has been pining for (Messing) is a bimbo, and that he has a bad case of PTSD. When he goes on the road to "find himself," he meets a young woman (Sanchez-Gijon) on the train, and she proceeds to throw up on him. Naturally, he falls in love with her. This movie is nothing more than a high-grade romance novel brought to the screen -- an art form for which, unfortunately, Reeves is ill-suited. It's a good entertainment, but not great art. (The DVD offers subtitles in English, and also closed captions.) Grade: B-
