Talk:Prospero's Books

Fair use rationale for Image:Prosperosbooks.jpg
Image:Prosperosbooks.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

DVD release
I am moving this unsourced statement here:
 * Due to a rights dispute, the film has never been released on DVD.

As this link demonstrates, the film was released on DVD, but is now out of print. The incorrect statement requires a source, additional information about the DVD release, and the nature and status of the "rights dispute". 98.211.124.111 (talk) 14:22, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

the film HAS never been released on dvd; if you read the user comments for the amazon link you posted, you'll notice that it is only a (shoddy) bootleg. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.48.67.20 (talk) 22:26, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Roger Ebert's Review of Prospero's Books
Roger Ebert is correct about Prospero's book being a non-narrative film. It is best viewed and enjoyed as a visual opera where the story and plot are secondary to the visuals. 23.251.200.46 (talk) 17:59, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
