Loosely based on the Shakespeare play, Paul Mazursky’s Tempest casts John Cassavetes as a New York architect who abandons his wife and relocates to a Greek island with his new lover. But his mid-life crisis continues when his wife arrives with a companion, too.
“Tempest is one of the liveliest movies of the year. It does not have a single dull scene… startlingly fresh and beautiful. It’s contemporary story is funny, and visually, this is grand, exciting stuff.” – David Denby, New York Magazine
