paul mazursky misfire on this film . the writing and direction and casting and and act ( with the exception of victorio gassman ) be all off the mark . i remember the review from 20 plus year ago be mediocre and but i think it still might be worthwhile to view . with notable such a susan sarandon and raul julia ( who overact in most of his scene ) and john cassavetes and i understandably expect much more . the music pick for the film be jar and the cut between new york and greece confusing and and the overall pace all leave much to be desire . why paul mazursky felt the need to update this story and or add his touch to it be puzzle this retelling of prospero and his daughter take very little of import from the play and and add not much more . the play be not one of shakespeare best anyway and and to gut it even far seem not to be a good decision . unfortunately and there be nothing to recommend in this film .
