Review of Prospero's Books (1991) by Doctor S — 28 May 2015
Visually phenomenal de facto stage adaptation of 'The Tempest' with 82-year-old John Gielgud reciting nearly every line of dialogue! Moving sets, film overlays, animation, and all sorts of old-school camera tricks really arrest the eyes, which is a must to get through the lengthy and often laborious monologues.
Also contains the largest number of naked people in a single movie that I or anyone else has ever seen, including anything from Caligula to Gonzo Gangbangs Vols. 1-6. The kind of film you'll want to watch once but likely only once.
