Cloud Atlas (2012)

Hugh Grant is unrecognizable in feathers and war paint, Halle Berry and Susan Sarandon play both male and female roles and, most bizarre of all, Tom Hanks attempts a Cockney accent in Cloud Atlas (2012), an ambitious, sprawling sci-fi mind-bender from the artists formerly known as the Wachowski Brothers (now Wachowski Starship) and Run Lola Run (1998) director Tom Tykwer. Based on a notoriously "unfilmable" novel by David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas uses six interwoven story lines ranging from a 19th century Pacific voyage to post-apocalyptic Hawaii to explore themes of love, hate, fate, reincarnation and the interconnectedness of existence. There’s a sex scene here but they hold out on showing us anything enticing.
