i be loan this dvd by the director of a film i be work with and in which i play an actor who be play prospero . know his own style and i do not expect anything resemble a classical interpretation of the text . what i have find be sometimes striking and sometimes evocative and but often meandering and tedious . like most experimental music and i find that in film such a this and the building block of powerful film making be craft and even if they have not find their most useful form in a more coherent format . thus we have a caliban who be more a clown than a threat and and who not even miranda seem terribly afraid of ( which be odd and since we know that he have attempt to rape her at least once ) . a stefano and trinculo who be more annoying than funny . an oddly young prospero who look like amadeus . and a great loss of character development and plot through creative editing and highly stylized posturing . interestingly enough and i do not have an issue with the way in which ferdanand or miranda be portray . his stunned rapture and her slightly freaky innocence be actually quite appropriate . i do not say that this be a bad film and but an experimental one . one that take huge risk and but be mean more for student of art and film and not really for anyone with an interest in the tempest for it own sake .
