Prospero (Heathcote Williams) in his laboratory, with Ariel (Karl Johnson) However, like also with Prospero’s Books, you do have to be somewhat familiar with the original play in order to fully understand what is happening on the screen. In this sense, Derek Jarman’s film is easier to follow than Peter Greenaway’s.
Unlike another The Tempest adaptation (Peter Greenaway’s Prospero’s Books), this one doesn’t stray too far away from the original narrative path. This is a different medium, and I’m just going to state my thoughts whether it works as a movie. I don’t think that’s the right approach for any kind of film adaptation.

Now, I’m not going to analyze this movie to see whether it is a faithful line-by-line adaptation of Shakespeare’s play (like, for instance, those people who are Shakespeare purists, or those who think that some comic book movies are not faithful enough to the original comics, etc., etc.). In the end, Prospero learns to forgive, allowing the two youths to marry, destroying his magical books and staff, and freeing Ariel and all the other spirits that served him. However, Miranda falls in love with Ferdinand (son of the king of Naples), who was also stranded on the island with his father. Currently, Prospero has conjured a tempest that would bring Antonio and his co-conspirators to the island to face the vengeance of the wronged Duke. Ariel now serves Prospero together with Caliban, the “savage and deformed” son of Sycorax. Using his great magical knowledge, Prospero rescued the “airy spirit” Ariel from his entrapment by the now dead witch Sycorax (the former master of the island). We are told that Prospero, “the rightful Duke of Milan,” was betrayed twelve years ago by his brother, Antonio (helped by Alonso, the king of Naples), thus being forced to find refuge on a deserted island, together with his young daughter, Miranda, now a teenager. The story of the 1611 Shakespeare play that formed the basis for this film is, I presume, well-known. This is the kind of movie that’s obscure enough and bizarre enough to deserve a “cult” status.
