Product Description
Product Description
The book of The Tempest is both a handsome edition of Julie Taymor’s eminently readable adaptation of Shakespeare’s play and a stunning visual narrative of her new film, which stars Helen Mirren as Prospera, the magician/alchemist in a bold, gender-switched realization.
One of Shakespeare’s greatest and most popular plays, The Tempest begs to be visualized by a master filmmaker. Taymor’s definitive film version combines romance and tragicomedy in one powerful story. She uses all of her considerable storytelling skills to make the action and atmosphere of the play come vividly to life. With an artist’s touch, she combines extraordinary locations with experimental visual effects to create the magic that suffuses this great work.

Beautiful book, April 24 2011

This review is from: The Tempest (Hardcover)
This is a very beautiful book with some stunning images from the movie, along with the screenplay. not very fond of the director, but am a huge Helen Mirren fan.The Tempest is my favorite of Shakespeare's plays, and I am a little partial to the REAL prospero ( male). I do prefer 'Prospero's books'. Anyway, the book is reasonably priced and if you're a fan of this movie or Shakespeare, I recommend it.
