Directed by Julie Taymor, 2010. Shakespeare’s Prospero is reconceived as Prospera in Taymor’s compelling screen version of Shakespeare’s last play. Marooned on a distant island with her daughter, Prospera (played by Academy Award winner Helen Mirren) uses her magic to raise a torrential storm, bringing her enemies to the island and vengeance within her reach.
