Blue
BLUE is one of Derek Jarman's most radical and daring films and was hailed as a masterpiece when it was premiered at the Venice Biennale. A blue screen provides the canvas for the visions of the audience, conjured up by the evocative words and music of the remarkably rich soundtrack. Jarman's own words are delivered by John Quentin, Nigel Terry, Tilda Swinton and Jarman himself. Jarman's courageous personal testimony is eloquently spare and vivid and its verbal imagery, quite without sentimentality, self pity or polemic, and at times very funny: 'The Guatama Buddha instructs me to walk away from illness. But he wasn't attached to a drip.'

Lovely Blue
Jarman's film Blue is an idiosyncratic, very simple, brave and moving piece of cinema. The screen is taken over by the colour blue, the only visual to the ... read more »

Radio play?
Very powerful audio accounts of people suffering from Aids. Had more impact at the time, when the Aids epidemic was still furious. I played the DVD on my PC and... read more »
