Before I begin to review Cloud Atlas, I will note that I have not read the book nor did I have any knowledge of its contents before viewing the film. All I knew were basic plot outlines/ideas, and the brief background information on a handful of studio stills.
With that said, nearly a week later, I still do not quite know what to make of Cloud Atlas. The film is composed of six different overlapping, connecting stories taking place across six very different generations.
The first story revolves around a man, Adam Ewing (Jim Sturgess), as he details his journey across the Pacific Ocean in the 1840s. Cut to the 1930s, where troubled composer Robert Frobisher (Ben Whishaw) recounts his exploits to a friend through multiple letters. And then in the 1970s, young journalist Luisa Rey (Halle Berry) investigates a murder related to a rather shady nuclear facility.

Craig here with this week's edition of the character actor column "Take Three". Today: Anne Heche
Take One: Birth (2004)
Whilst watching Birth I’m sure you, like me, were thinking: just what the heck is Anne Heche doing in Central Park? Near the start of Jonathan Glazer’s reincarnation baffler Heche acts in mysterious ways. She suspiciously sneaks out of a hotel lobby and onto the snowy streets of Manhattan. She’s rustling around in the bushes, digging a hole. Is she burying the gift intended for Anna (Nicole Kidman)? Is it even a gift? It looks like some sort of proof, evidence. Her character, Clara, holds the film’s secrets from the get-go. In accordance with the way Glazer structures the script in these early scenes, fragmented by Sam Sneade and Claus Wehlisch’s editing, Clara becomes an enigma we know we'll worryingly come back to later.
