Date of Review: Mar 21, 2000
If you're looking for a high adrenaline, pulse pounding, sky diving, bus driving, shoot up em Keanu Reeves movie, this isn't it. Walk in The Clouds is a tender love story.
The story is this, a soldier returns from WW2 and finds that the woman he left behind is no longer the woman he married or loves. He takes a job as a candy salesman and finds that he can't take the job or being with his wife so, he hops on a bus heading towards California's wine country. Conflict arises on the bus between a young girl and some other passengers, he steps in to protect her and they end up getting kicked off of the bus.
While walking the remainder of the way they talk and become friends. She confides in him that she's coming home from school in New York because she's pregnant and her lover has left her. She's terrified of telling her father, who's a very traditional man and a vineyard owner. She convinces him to pose as her husband for a short time. Figuring that they can continue the deception for a short time and when he leaves her family will believe that she was deserted. What they didn't expect to do was to fall in love.
Walk in The Clouds is a wonderful movie with sweeping landscapes, wonderful talent and a heart moving story. If you love a good Romance pick up this movie, you won't be sorry.
