i saw this movie when it be release and and my distaste for it have stick with me all these year . here why represent greenaway goal seem to be to take every literary image in the tempest and make it literal . if a character be to say and my heart take flight and we would be show an actual human heart and with pigeon wing attach and flap across the screen . this process make for some lush tableau and but ultimately it a facile exercise . and it become deadly boring . i do not begrudge the pleasure other viewer find in this movie and but it worth know that not everyone in the audience be enrapture .
