Greenaway engages the viewer like no other director. If you do not enjoy being challenged by film then not only will you dislike this and other Greenaway movies, but you will be missing out on an essential facet of film-making as an art form - with a substance and potential largely unexplored and ignored by "Hollywood" studio films. You don't have to be a Shakespeare buff to enjoy this film, but if you have read "The Tempest," then you will be enjoying this film on a level expressly reserved for you by the director. This film explores the multi-textural potential of film like no movie before it or since.
