I haven't seen either of those. I started to watch the Mirren one, but I wasn't in the right frame of mind at the time, so put it back on the shelf for later.

Vits have you seen Peter Greenaway's version (Prospero's Books)?
I purchased a VHS copy a few months back but haven't watched it yet. If it's Greenaway, you know it will be visually stunning and there will be lots of nudity. lol

It is stunning. I'll do a review someday.

You have to get into the mind of the director here: the play takes place all in the mind of a mage of the Italian Renaissance. Gielgud reads all the lines.
