Plot

A free version of Shakespeare's play.

Sinekatalog’s take

Derek Jarman's free version of Shakespeare's play sets Prospero's island in a ruined mansion, with punk-tinged sets and Toyah Willcox. Camp, strange and visually bold, it is a daring, uneven but memorable interpretation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
