53. Julie Taymor’s The Tempest (2010) In 1999, Julie Taymor gave life to Titus Andronicus, an obscure, early, and quite bloody play by Shakespeare. It was great. In 2002, she gave us a visionary biopic of Frida Kahlo. It was good. In 2007, she made Across the Universe, a musical cobbled together from Beatles tunes… Continue reading

This film is about a Manhattanite architect’s midlife crisis, with some loose associations with Shakespeare’s themes and (vaguely) characters. There’s no magician, although the architect might be… Continue reading
