i was loaned this dvd by the director of a film i am working with and in which i play an actor who is playing prospero. knowing his own style and i did not expect anything resembling a classical interpretation of the text. what i have found is sometimes striking and sometimes evocative and but often meandering and tedious. like most experimental music and i find that in films such as this and the building blocks of powerful film making are crafted and even if they have not found their most useful form in a more coherent format. thus we have a caliban who is more a clown than a threat and and who not even miranda seems terribly afraid of (which is odd and since we know that he has attempted to rape her at least once). a stefano and trinculo who are more annoying than funny. an oddly young prospero who looks like amadeus. and a great loss of character development and plot through creative editing and highly stylized posturing. interestingly enough and i do not have an issue with the way in which ferdanand or miranda are portrayed. his stunned rapture and her slightly freaky innocence are actually quite appropriate. i do not say that this is a bad film and but an experimental one. one that takes huge risks and but is meant more for students of art and film and not really for anyone with an interest in the tempest for its own sake.
