1 SADO TEMPEST A film by John Williams

2 Sado Tempest is a near-future, dysfunctional version of The Tempest, filmed entirely on Sado Island off the North West coast of Japan. Sado Island is famous as the island of exile, where Japanese intellectuals and dissidents have been traditionally sent throughout the ages. The Emperor and poet Juntoku was exiled there in the middle ages and later the Noh Playwright Zeami and the Buddhist Priest Nichiren. Noh theatre and other influences have left a tradition of Demon Masks, and a tradition of Demon drumming, which inspired the world famous Kodo Drummers, who now make their home on the island. The film blends the traditional culture of Sado island and Shakespeare s mysterious last play about exile, with Japanese rock music, to create a bizarre mirror of modern Japan.

3 STORY: Sometime in the near future, rebel rock singer Jun Tokushima (Juntoku) is exiled with his band to Sado Island. The island has fallen into permanent winter after a terrible storm that destroyed the secret Genetic Laboratory of Omuro (Prospero). His daughter, Miranda, has gone crazy and is now the mistress of the brutal head of the prison, Sugi (Caliban). Jun escapes from the prison and wanders the island, encountering cannibals and Demons. The Demons lead him inland, where he meets Omuro, who also seems to have gone crazy. But Omuro seems to want to use Jun for some purpose, connected to the Demons, who may be the force responsible for the storm. Jun is recaptured and sets to work to try to piece together the broken fragments of the Demon Songs, in an attempt to bring back the Spring. But just as he is about to complete the song, Sekihara, the head of the secret police, who exiled Jun, turns up on the island and reveals that he sent Jun there to lure Omuro out of hiding and destroy him. As Jun is dispatched to kill Omuro, Miranda begins to incant the Demon song, and a terrible storm approaches the island again...
