What to Know

Critics Consensus

Much like its protagonist, the frustratingly diffuse A Thousand Clouds of Peace drifts along in a fruitless search for satisfaction.

Desson Thomson Washington Post As pretentious and wispy as its title. Jul 30, 2004 Full Review Jane Sumner Dallas Morning News Mr. Hernndez's attempt to put an interior landscape on film a la Pasolini may seem stultifying and pretentious, but it's also a brave dark experiment.

Audience Member "A Thousand Clouds Of Peace" is a line from a romantic poem that ends with something like "...peace is in the sky." I'm not sure but the movie is about broken hearts finding love. It's the first feature of director Julian Hernandez and it's disappointing after watching his last 2 films "Broken Sky" and "Raging Sun, Raging Sky." All his features allude to the sky and ideal love. There's more dialogue in this film but Hernandez' is a Mexican artist more interesed in images and style. His movie is inert and boring. Gerardo is the protagnist getting over a rejection by Bruno. Their relationship is brief and allegorical. When Gerardo is cruel and callously rejects others in grieving, we don't identify with him. He meets a hoodlum who punches him out and this scene leaves more questions than answers. It would be nice to get some subtext to some of the scenes and background to some of the characters. With the director/writer, what he shows you is all you get. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member En DVD. Propuesta experimental de un director mexicano con planos bellisimos y fotografia en B/N muy lograda que consigue su objetvo; simplificar todo al tema que trata y de alguna manera solaparlo. En verdad es una propuesta algo inusual y si se quiere atrevida. Sinembargo en esto no puede radicar solamente un filme, y mas de este calibre donde tal vez el ejercicio tecnico/intelectual del autor confunde las emociones que debe transmitir una historia de amor y nos hiela, nos distancia y al final puede dejarnos indiferente. Es una propuesta arriesgada en la forma que puede resultar mal o bien. Cine demasiado intimista que no pasa ese umbral y queda en eso; un mero ejercicio cinematografico e instrospectivo. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Flawed but overall really beautiful and poetic. A piece of experimental cinema that deals with love and loneliness in a weird, slow, not-so-great way that haunts you even if you don't love it to death. A tough-to-watch movie that deserves a chance. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
