This article aims at exploring acts of narration and representation of Morocco in Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Sheltering Sky (1990). This filmic production offers a critical examination of the representation of the typical Moroccan in Hollywood. The Sheltering Sky (1990) offers a rather different narrative mode drifting away from Hollywood traditionalist model of narration, writing in bold a new tradition of narration and representation of Morocco. Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Sheltering Sky (1990) constitutes such a narrative mode that embraces this denigrating and demeaning system of representation. Such a system, I would say, explains how this Hollywood power to represent Morocco could very well nourish the ideological power to dominate and subsequently produce Morocco according to global standards
