Benjamin Evett’s superb and intricate performance as Calaban is particularly wasted, as the deeper issues behind his character are not explored. When the savage licks the drunken Stephano’s boots as a mark of his devotion to his new master, it should be a slightly revolting scene, but here it is simply made to seem comical.

As it is, thanks to the exodus of Tibetans in the past half-century, Tibetan culture and Buddhism have become part...
...achievements, oppressed citizens in Tibet and elsewhere will no doubt use the same opportunity to remind the world of what has been lost in terms of freedom and humanity in the rush for those achievements. The calm scientist in monk robes, however, with his habit of looking at the deeper causes beneath every surface, will surely keep noting that the only revolution that lasts and that can truly help us toward a better world is the one that begins inside...
