Terry M Nov 25 The worst pretentious piece of crap ever made. Then again that sums up the majority of Peter Greenway´s filmography with THE COOK, THE THEIF, HIS WIFE AND HER LOVER being the only slight exception. One feels embarrassed for the legendary actor John Gielgud who gives THE worst performance of his otherwise lustrious career See more Leo P Oct 16 Is life nothing but a dream, and a dream seldom visits sorrow, and when it does, it comforts? What's the number of dance possibilities in human body? Where do thoughts go once they are chased away by other thoughts? Is " Prospero's Books" merely a movie of naked men and women, and everything else is a conjecture? See more Jon S Sep 2 This was the most unbearably dull film I have ever seen. I saw it at the cinema with a friend and by the time we’d reached half way through, I had to apologise and explain that I could bear it no longer. See more Jacob B Mar 11 Sir John Gielgud had long desired to do a film adaptation of “The Tempest”— I doubt in his wildest dreams he ever thought it would come to fruition via the genius of Peter Greenaway and his unbelievably fascinating visual style. Hallucinatory, dreamlike and one of the most truly cinematic adaptations of Shakespeare ever. See more Mst Taslima A 12/11/2024 It's an excellent book.
