The Tempest

 My Rating:

 IMDb Users:

(2010)

Genre: Drama/Comedy/Fantasy

Director: Julie Taymor

Writer: Julie Taymor, William Shakespeare

Producers: Ronald M. Bozman, Anthony Buckner, Beaux Carson, Robert Chartoff, John C. Ching, Lynn Hendee, Rohit Khattar, Deborah Y. Lau, Jason K. Lau, Phyllis LaVoie, Tino Puri, Greg Strasburg, Julia Taylor-Stanley, Julie Taymor, Stewart Till

Synopsis: Shakespeare's epic play is translated from page to screen, with the gender of the main character, Prospero, changed from male to female. Going back to the 16th or 17th century, women practicing the magical arts of alchemy were often convicted of witchcraft. In Taymor's version, Prospera is usurped by her brother and sent off with her four-year daughter on a ship. She ends up on an island; it's a tabula rasa: no society, so the mother figure becomes a father figure to Miranda. This leads to the power struggle and balance between Caliban and Prospera; a struggle not about brawn, but about intellect. (Written by IMDb Editors)
