Prosperos Bücher: Directed by Peter Greenaway. With John Gielgud, Michael Clark, Michel Blanc, Erland Josephson. The magician Prospero attempts to stop his daughter’s affair with an enemy.

“i miss Gielgud very much already. his voice was so rich, and this film is a smorgasbord of his voice. i find most Shakespeare a bit heavy and sluggish, so strangely perhaps, i find this movie a nice interpretation. and the books, the water, and the nudity are all wonderful. Greenaway is with imagery a bit the way Shakespeare is with words, a bit over-flush, over-ripe; so sometimes heu0026#39;s good and sometimes it just seems like excess. the blue guy was interesting to watch as well. maybe not best to be viewed in one sitting, but more than just a mere film, like being drunk in a flower garden in spring. or perhaps iu0026#39;m just being poofy.”
