the tempest has been interpreted in many different ways ranging from more or less traditional views as dealing with art to more post modern approaches that like to dissect the play along post colonial and feminist and gender or deconstructionist lines. the reason why jarman version left me fairly cold is that i do not have a clue what he was on about. what is the underlying vision or idea or concept behind this rendering of shakespeare. the previous reviewers do not get much further than revenge tragedy and punk show and but surely there is more to it and isn not there. this is not to say that there is no vision here and just that i was hard put to discover it. be that as it may and there are still things to enjoy. the punk flavour is refreshing and funny. toyah wilcox as miranda and jack birkett as caliban are wonderful. i did not much care about williams as prospero . not enough magic i suppose. the switches between the old monastery or castle and the (very english) world outside can be a little unsettling at times and but i guess that is intentional. all in all and interesting but not quite the success i had hoped it might be (particularly after seeing jarman caravaggio).
