01
Why this pick
An alienated Western traveller drifts through North Africa in Antonioni’s equally spacious, visually ravishing meditation on identity, distance and the unnerving freedom of being far from home.
02
Why this pick
Its desert landscapes, fractured romantic memory and sense of private lives being reshaped by foreign terrain echo Bertolucci’s sensual, melancholy grandeur.
03
Why this pick
Peter Weir gives an arduous journey across immense landscapes the same existential weight: physical travel becomes a stripping-away of identity, attachment and certainty.
04
Why this pick
A more grounded counterpart to the colonial unease around The Sheltering Sky, this lyrical French-Algerian drama observes displacement and cultural estrangement with intimate, unsentimental clarity.
05
Why this pick
For its ominous, dreamlike atmosphere and a protagonist increasingly unmoored from familiar logic, this offers a similarly metaphysical journey into an unknowable environment.

01 / THE STORY
Three Americans from New York arrive in Oran (Algeria) in 1947. Port Moresby and his wife Kit are accompanied by their friend George Tunner on a trip that will take them deep into the Sahara Desert. Tunner observes, "We're probably the first tourists they've had since the war," to which Kit replies "We're not tourists. We're travelers." While Tunner plans to return home in a few weeks, Port and Kit plan on staying for a year or two.
