Talking Pictures: Film and Discussion of "The Tempest"

Join film buffs Don and Melissa Henderson to view and discuss The Tempest, the 2010 American comedy/drama film based on the play of the same name by William Shakespeare. Academy-award nominated Director Julie Taymor brings an original dynamic to the story by changing the gender of the sorcerer Prospero into sorceress Prospera, portrayed by Oscar winner Helen Mirren. Prospera's journey spirals from vengeance to forgiveness as she reigns over a magical island, cares for her young daughter, Miranda, and unleashes her power against shipwrecked enemies in this exciting, masterly mix of romance, tragicomedy and the supernatural.
