Tempest (1982)

Adapted from the William Shakespeare play The Tempest, director Paul Mazursky's Tempest (1982) showcases John Cassavetes as a fed-up New York City architect who spends a year of his mid-life crisis in search of himself on a lush Greek island. The seeker's wife is played by Cassevetes's real-life spouse (and frequent collaborator), Gena Rowlands. Post-Facts of Life-waif, pre-John Hughes-muse Molly Ringwald is their daughter. Susan Sarandon, young and chesty and topless as the hero's mistress, provides Tempest with its most gorgeously stormy scenery.
