As adapted by Peter Greenaway, the film envisions a magical realm of exquisite beauty, where the innocence of love and dreams of revenge collide to create a tempest. Greenaway structures the film around the 24 books Prospero took into exile, and while remaining faithful to the text, the treatment and delivery of that text could hardly be more different."@en
  • "This film is a take on Shakespeare's The Tempest and is an intellectually and erotically rampaging meditation on the arrogance and value of the artistic process. It displays the director's, Peter Greenaway's, audacious brilliance and lewd extravagance at full tilt."
