Synopsis:
In
Shakespeare's fantastical thriller the magician Prospero orchestrates
spirits, monsters, a grief-stricken king, a wise old councillor,
two treacherous brothers and a storm at sea into a fantastical
conspiracy bringing banishment, sorcery and shipwreck into the
lives of two hapless lovers to stir and seal their fate.
Here Prospero takes female form as Prospera, giving her journey
of vengeance and self-discovery a wholly new resonance. As Prospera
breaks her magical staff against an entrancing volcanic landscape
at the end of her heroic quest, this poignant story of love and
forgiveness translates into a riveting and filmic mystical tale,
for our own times. |
