Derek Jarman’s the Tempest [1979] (Region 1) (NTSC)
Customer Review: Guaranteed to put you off Shakespeare
I usually grit my teeth and see things through, but with this film I hadn’t the courage. Its start was slow, dreary and pretty much inaudible. I didn’t know the story of The Tempest before watching this version, and within 15 minutes I was completely discouraged that I ever would know the story. I think Prospero is supposed to be a “goodie”, but he seemed mad, bad and dangerous to me. Although I was mildly intrigued at the appearance of Toyah Wilcox as the heroine, it wasn’t enough to keep me watching. Other Shakespeare adaptations I have enjoyed are Much Ado About Nothing (Brannagh) and Hamlet (Mel Gibson).
Customer Review: Ghastly, awful, a complete travesty
I found nothing to appeal in this ‘Tempest’ adaptation. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason to the staging. It turned a magical and appealing play into a slow, disagreeable, agonising torture. It was almost impossible to follow the plot, much less make sense of the characters or the major issues explored in such depth in this last play of Shakespeare’s. It’s such a shame. What a waste of talent.
