It sounds cliched but this film really is an exquisitely sumptuous feast for the senses, every shot is like a oil painting by an old master. The vhs release is woefully poor, so surely it is high time it was available on dvd. I've seen it mentioned somewhere as a european dvd release in 2005, but have failed to locate it. Does anyone have any leads?

Agree entirely...hugely underrated film; one of the best Shakespeare films, Gielgud is majestic as Prospero, the music is superb, and every shot is composed, framed and lit like a renaissance fresco...the nearest thing in cinema to an Elizabethan masque. It's fashionable to deride Greenaway now, but this is his masterpiece IMHO....I haven't seen a DVD release, but I can recommend his 'Book of the Film' if you can find it as a reasonable price...that's sumptous too....

Bit of a Bay Window, what??
