The Tempest
Phyllis Wattis Theater
1:00 p.m.
1979, 92 min.
A punk inspired adaptation of Shakespeare's Tempest. Much of the Shakespearian dialogue has been removed and haunting images successfully take its place. Filmed in Stoneleigh Abbey, the film weaves period backgrounds with punk sensibilities of decadence, decay, and magic.
Part of Derek Jarman.
$5 general; free for SFMOMA members or with museum admission (requires a free ticket, which can be picked up in the Haas Atrium). Double features: films offered on the same date are included in one ticket.
