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.
