Prospero's Books
A magician's spell, the innocence of young love and a dream of revenge unite to create a tempest.
Directed by Peter Greenaway
Produced by Camera One, Allarts
A visually sumptuous, experimental retelling of Shakespeare's *The Tempest* that prioritizes surreal imagery and magical spectacle over narrative clarity, exploring themes of forgiveness, love, and the transformative power of art.
An exiled magician finds an opportunity for revenge against his enemies muted when his daughter and the son of his chief enemy fall in love in this uniquely structured retelling of the 'The Tempest'.
