…and After the Tempest

Summary/Abstract: An article devoted to post-1989 Shakespearean cinema. The author describes and analyzes four films of the 1990s, the period when the genre made a comeback – Peter Greenaway’s Prospero’s Books (1991), Richard III (1995) by Richard Loncraine, Romeo and Juliet (1996) by Baz Luhrmann, and Titus Andronicus by JulieTaymor – proving that these cannot be considered postmodern films. The author also notes that in the first decade of the 21st century “not a single important film adaptation of a Shakespeare drama was made, apart from Branagh’s As You Like It.” A film which, in her opinion, demonstrates the “exhaustion of the familiar models of adaptation” is Taymor’s The Tempest.
