FANTASYSynopsis
Intellect meets flesh in this opulent adaptation of The Tempest. The NY Times reviewer was present at the infamous screening of the first reel in Cannes “The reception was so enthusiastic that one critic suggested that Mr. Greenaway should scrap the rest of the film and just release this first reel. That’s not being quite fair. What we saw the other afternoon is dazzling…. glorious…..tumultuous visions, suggesting a great library of the gods as imagined by Renaissance painters”
