The Tempest Live long and Prospera

Plot Prospera (Mirren), an exiled noblewoman with magical powers, conjures a storm to lure a ship onto their remote island home, hoping to find a suitor for her daughter. By chance, among the shipwrecked crewmen is her brother Antonio (Cooper), the architect of her downfall, offering Prospera an irresistible opportunity for revenge. Verdict Taymor’s winningly cast, imaginative take on Shakespeare passes the test of bringing the Bard to film. It may also be the only PG Disney film to contain the word “Fuck”.
