The Tempest
1979 · 95 MIN · IMDB 6.4 · 1,313 VOTES · DIR. Derek Jarman
Overview
Prospero, a potent magician, lives on a desolate isle with his virginal daughter, Miranda. He's in exile, banished from his duchy by his usurping brother and the King of Naples. Providence brings these enemies near; aided by his vassal the spirit Ariel, Prospero conjures a tempest to wreck the Italian ship. The king's son, thinking all others lost, becomes Prospero's prisoner, falling in love with Miranda and she with him. Prospero's brother and the king wander the island, as do a drunken cook and sailor, who conspire with Caliban, Prospero's beastly slave, to murder Prospero. Prospero wants reason to triumph, Ariel wants his freedom, Miranda a husband; the sailors want to dance.

00:05:18 My brave spirit!
00:10:07 With raven's feather from unwholesome fen
00:12:14 If thou neglect'st
00:16:03 Nothing of him that doth fade
00:23:55 Most sure, the goddess On whom these airs attend!
00:28:42 But light to me
00:32:22 She that is Queen of Tunis; she that dwells ten leagues beyond man's life;
00:34:44 You have often Begun to tell me what I am
00:36:56 They hurried us aboard a bark
00:41:34 Out o' th' moon, I do assure thee.
00:44:39 For no kind of traffic would I admit; no name of magistrate;
00:48:01 Monsieur Monster!
00:52:54 I am your wife, if you will marry me.
00:55:52 Let me remember thee what thou hast promis'd

01:04:34 Of it own kind, all foison, all abundance
01:06:53 When Prospero is destroy'd.
01:12:20 What would my potent master? Here I am.
01:15:43 Flesh and blood
01:19:29 Now does my project gather to a head;
01:24:07 He is as disproportioned in his manners As in his shape.
01:32:25 And our little life Is rounded with a sleep.
