Movie Reviews of Prospero's Books
Movie Review: Prospero's Books
Summary: 1 Stars
I was disappointed that this version of was chopped into the old analog "4:3" television format. The theater version of Prospero's Books was a widescreen movie with a "16:9" format or wider. Only the cast and crew part of this movie was shown in the theater widescreen format.
Summary of Prospero's Books
A magician in exile wishes to take revenge against his enemies, but runs into a roadblock when his daughter and the son of his arch enemy fall in love. An interesting take on the Shakespeare classic, "The Tempest." The story is told in dance and words. All the dialog is spoken by Sir John Gielgud.Art House & International DVD Video
