Wives of the Skies

About This Movie

Wives of the Skies is a curious blend of comedy and drama that transports you back to 1965, exploring the lives of two stewardesses through a photojournalist's lens. It’s got this offbeat charm, you know? The pacing meanders a bit, which might not sit well with everyone, but it adds to the mellow vibe. The film dives into themes of perception and the male gaze, which is pretty fascinating, especially in how it contrasts with the delicate portrayal of Kinbaku, the Japanese rope art. The performances are nuanced, capturing the complexities of their characters without overly dramatizing. There’s something distinctly unique about its approach, making it a noteworthy watch for those intrigued by cultural commentary wrapped in a lighthearted package.
