  I probably got about 20% of text, but I simply treated it as background music to interesting images.

    and agreed, the text is so impenetrable that I found myself just "switching off" and enjoy the scenery in this film

    What might salvage this on DVD would be a choice of alternative narrative tracks; like Eubonics, Gangsta Rap, Noo Yawk + Noo Jawsey-eez, Cockney English rhyming slang and what the Scots call *talking shite * as per Trainspotting. Maybe even Beat generation slang as per Kerouac and Ginsberg

    "Full fathoms five my father lies, his bones of coral made" could become:

    Prospero, like gettin' in DOWN in the 'hood with all us chillens, aw reet ? Hoots Mon, see you down the Rubbidy Dub with the Trouble and Strife. Just TOO PHAT Ariel, you finger poppin' Daddy at five fathoms, tangerine flake kandy-coated coral

    Shakespeare would approve

      I mean - I can see some activity on imdb, but he seems to have disappeared, practically speaking. Last one I saw was Pillow Book. Did you see 8 1/2 Women? Worth a buck for rent?

        now *that* I have to see!

        Err, no, I didn't like the Pillow Book at all and thought he'd *lost it* so haven't bothered with 8 1/2 Women

        If you take the plunge please post your opinion!

          Will be a while before I get to it, though.

          I think he simply lost track of what he wanted to do. He started as a painter, and it seems movies have been his secondary love. He brought beautiful art to some of them, but perhaps never understood that films needed few other things to become a whole.

          The Pillow Book was his low point, I hope.

            so that could take him in any direction
            Mao was a poet; Hitler painted watercolors
            Josef Stalin had his train set ( or so I hear )
