I will be teaching this play for a community college crowd next semester. I think it will work for that - more straightforward and less nudity than "Prospero's Books."

This is just boring. It lacks excitement and is just a poor adaptation of the play. I read the play before watching this movie and some of the funniest parts are not realized becuase the actors and the sound and the location do not make it interesting. I would not suggest anyone watch this ever. This is as bad as Caligula.

This is one of the most unique adaptations of Shakespeare, and one of Derek Jarman's best films. It's a very stripped down version of Shakespeare's last play.

OMG! The folks who didn't "like" the film clearly had no idea who (or what) Derek Jarman is. Crickey, do a little research before buying something. What did you think, this was going to be some high-school production of Shakespeare? The boobs and the corset on the cover shoulda tipped you off (or perhaps that's why you bought it... hmm). What a bunch of morons.
OK, now that's over with...
If you dig Jarmen, this is for you. Much more cohesive than Caravaggio (I mean, c'mon... ... Read More
