Cloud Atlas

2012Directed by: Wachowskis & Tom Tykwer

About This Production

The Wachowskis' ambitious sci-fi epic Cloud Atlas used Mallorca's most dramatic landscapes to represent otherworldly settings. The serpentine road to Sa Calobra — one of the most spectacular drives in Europe — and the rugged beauty of Cap de Formentor feature in the film's most visually stunning sequences. The Sóller valley's lush orange groves provided a pastoral counterpoint. Cloud Atlas demonstrates how Mallorca's diverse terrain can stand in for locations across time and space, from prehistoric landscapes to futuristic cityscapes.

About the Locations

The famous serpentine road to Sa Calobra, with its hairpin bends descending through the Tramuntana mountains, is one of the film's most recognisable settings. The Sóller valley and Cap de Formentor's dramatic cliffs also feature prominently.
