Head in the Clouds

War has a way of reopening old wounds, and this romantic espionage drama turns that truth into a glossy, melancholy triangle. Stuart Townsend's British agent returns to occupied France only to find Charlize Theron's glamorous photographer entangled with a Nazi officer (Thomas Kretschmann). Penélope Cruz completes the triangle, and the movie luxuriates in the ambiguity of love under pressure, where memory is both refuge and trap.
