[font=Century Gothic]"The Tempest" is an atmospheric, if surprisingly, austere version of the William Shakespeare play, directed by Derek Jarman. In it, Prospero(Heathcote Williams), a magician, lives in exile in an ever worsening state of decay with his grown daughter, Miranda(Toyah Willcox). At his disposal is a slave, Caliban(Jack Birkett), and a spirit, Ariel(Karl Johnson). Prospero no longer thinks about returning to his native Milan and simply wants to keep the world at bay, specifically from his daughter. But there are some unwelcome visitors on the horizon...[/font]

This is probably my favourite Shakespeare anyway, but this version really brings out the philisophical study of humanity and the overall abstract style of the play. As is traditional with Jarman everyone gets naked at some point, but thi is used to symbolise the loss of society and rule. The haunting misery that Ariel is going through is excellent, the best portrayal of the enslavement of the sprite I have ever seen. This film is definitley wortha watch, whether to see Shakespeare in a different medium, or to see a beautiful haunting piece of art.

Derek Jarman's take on Shakespeare's final classic is pictorially beautiful (shot in Stoneleigh Abbey and dressed like Robespierre) but somewhat impenetrable. Of course, this might be the Bard's poetics but, as with Greenaway's later riff on this and the play, things are anything but direct and straightforward. These films also share scads of full frontal male nudity (and here also in the buff, Toyah Willcox, last seen in Urgh! A Music War). The final musical send-off seems to echo Fassbinder's similar joy in genre-bending and is similarly a non sequitur (I'm thinking of 1978's In a Year of 13 Moons, I think.).

One of Jarman's finest achievements. A wonderfully understated, eccentric take on Shakespeare with lots of brooding atmosphere and hilarious anachronism.
