	Derek Jarman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jarman was born in Northwood, Middlesex, and from 1960 studied at King's College London.
		Jarman's first films were experimental super 8 mm shorts, a form he never entirely abandoned, and later developed further (in his films Imagining October (1984), The Angelic Conversation (1985), The Last Of England (1987) and The Garden (1990)) as a parallel to his narrative work.
		Jarman deserves significant credit for his work in creating and expanding the fledgling form of 'the pop video' in England, and as a forthright and prominent gay rights activist.

		Jarman's films included Jubilee (1977), in which Queen Elizabeth I of England is transported forward in time to a desolate and brutal wasteland ruled by her twentieth century namesake.
		Jarman was a forthright and prominent gay activist.

	Blue - Derek Jarman, John Quentin, Nigel Terry - 1993
		Against a plain, unchanging blue screen, a densely interwoven soundtrack of voices, sound effects and music attempt to convey a portrait of Derek Jarman's experiences with AIDS, both literally and allegorically, together with an exploration of the meanings associated with the colour blue.
		Jarman's "Blue," a feature consisting entirely of a blue screen with voice-overs, has succeeded in annoying viewers with its seemingly uninventive approach to the cinematic personal narative.
		Jarman, directing this film as he lost his eyesight (and what could be worse for a director?), last saw the color blue.

	Derek Jarman (1942-1994)
		Proudly and openly gay, Jarman shared news of his HIV infection with his public and incorporated his subsequent battles with AIDS into his work, particularly in The Garden (1990) and Blue (1993).
		Excavating and reclaiming suppressed gay history was an ongoing project that informed his several unconventional biopics: SEBASTIANE (1975), Jarman's sun-drenched directorial debut about the martyred Christian saint; the unusually accessible and slyly anachronistic Caravaggio (1986); the raw and angry modern dress version of Christopher Marlowe's Edward II (1991); and the stark and theatrical Wittgenstein (1993).
		Jarman's most important performer was the prodigiously talented Tilda Swinton, whose intensity and unusual beauty graced THE LAST OF ENGLAND, WAR REQUIEM, THE GARDEN, EDWARD II, WITTGENSTEIN, BLUE and Jarman's segment of Aria (1988).

	Literary Encyclopedia: Dancing Ledge
		Derek Jarman wrote a series of autobiographical texts, scripts and journals, in which he again and again revisited his past and continually reinvented the forms of self-writing.
		Jarman was at the time working on his as yet unfunded project for a film about this painter's life.
		Jarman made the decision to make himself and his “Queerlife”, as he calls it, available because he was aware, from his own experience, how difficult it can be for young men if they have no written models of gay manhood with which to compare themselves.

		Derek Jarman's final film is a musically embroiled reflection on his life and his rapidly deteriorating physical condition.
		Jarman's memories, narrative sketches, and philosophies are read by himself and various artists in voice-overs set to a stirring score by Simon Fisher Turner.
		Jarman's deeply visual sense of memory, peppered by darkly comic cynicism and dreamy romanticism, is left to linger over the rich blue screen.

	Blue, by Derek Jarman (h2so4)
		One hour and seventeen minutes of luminous blue 35mm glow, unchanging, calming, irritating, numbing, and a soundtrack laboriously collaged out of snippets of sound and music and Jarman's meditations on his encroaching blindness and approaching death, and on the blindness of the world to its own slower but equally inevitable demise.
		Jarman, the consummate image-crafter, whose films are quite literally "moving pictures," coming to grips with the disappearance of all images from his field of vision, then the disappearance of his own self-image into the all-transcending blue of death.
		And so it is that, at the movie's very end, in the midst of an incredibly lyrical and erotically charged love song, Jarman is strangely reassuring about the world's blindness.

		Though openly gay, Jarman was on the fringes of the gay movement until his diagnosis with AIDS in 1987, when he began vigorously to protest antigay and AIDS policies in the U.K., both on the streets and in his work.
		Jarman's dedication to both his films and his controversial politics (he attacked Ian McKellen for accepting a knighthood from an antigay government) makes for lively reading, and reveals as much about the impact of the artist's world upon his work as it does about his effect on that world.
		Jarman had many critics, both to his work and his activism, but he never buckled to them and spoke out any time he felt an injustice was being served.

	BLUE (1993) Director: Derek Jarman Stars: Derek Jarman, Tilda Swinton, John Quentin, Nigel Terry (voices of)
		Derek Jarman made this film through the blindness of cytomegalovirus retinitis, in the last year of his life.
		Where it does work is in the way it captures Jarman’s raw penultimate thoughts and emotions, his reflections on life, society, science and AIDS as he’s sucked into the abyss.
		It just isn’t really a movie as such, and despite the novelty of a film maker robbed of his sight giving us a movie with no visuals, the film is more poem than movie, and makes for a bit of an endurance test with occasional

		Over the blue surface of the screen, the voices of four actors, close friends of the director, the speech of the director himself, the sound effects and the music narrate Derek Jarman's experience with the AIDS virus, alternating the description of the progress of the virus with deep considerations on poetry, art and life.
		His artistic testament, anyway, is a hymn to life and art: Jarman, mortally ill, does not give up the irony and experiments a radical shift of the limits of sight.
		The blue screen is accompanied by Simon Fisher Turner's poetic music and seductive words, sublimely formulated by the actors Nigel Terry, John Quentin and Tilda Swinton, all of them faithful, long-time collaborators of Jarman's.

		Throughout the film, all the viewer sees is a blue screen, "the color of TV tuned to a dead channel." On the sound track we hear various people reading from Derek Jarman's journals, kept during the final years of his life, while he was dying from AIDS.
		At the time he made the film, Jarman had lost most of his sight, and so the blue screen plunges us effectively into the circumscribed universe of a person living with an advanced case of AIDS.
		In addition, however, the blue screen makes a powerful statement about the unrepresentability of a disease which had up to that time defied medical science's attempts at both knowledge and a cure; and it refuses the sentimentality which the onscreen representation of the PWA's (person with AIDS') body often seems to entail.

	Bio for Tilda Swinton on MSN Movies
		Known throughout Britain for her idiosyncratic performances and long-time association with the late filmmaker Derek Jarman, Tilda Swinton is nothing if not one of the more unique actresses to come along during the second half of the 20th century.
		It was for her role as the spurned queen in Jarman's anachronistic, controversial Edward II (1992) that Swinton earned her first dose of recognition, becoming a familiar face to arthouse audiences on both sides of the Atlantic and earning a Best Actress prize at the Venice Film Festival for her work in the film.
		Following appearances in Jarman's Blue (1993) and in his acclaimed biopic, Wittgenstein (1994), Swinton earned some of her strongest notices to date for her lead in Female Perversions (1996), in which she played a successful lawyer trying to cope with her own insecurities and self-destructive tendencies.

	Table of Contents and Excerpt, Dillon, Derek Jarman and Lyric Film
		Jarman was interested in hieroglyphics and Egyptian motifs, as well as secret codes and forms of the occult, from John Dee to Carl Jung.
		Jarman's desire to elaborate discursively and extensively about the meanings and intentions of his films is most clearly reminiscent of texts by Cocteau and Pasolini, but not so far away from the somewhat less voluble Tarkovsky.
		Jarman's imagery may be more idiomatically connected to the light and the light-writing that is cinema, but it is equally suited to the complex analysis of homosexuality that takes place in his art.

		Against a matte blue screen, layers of sound interweave and overlap with a narration that alternates between journal readings and observations and a grim, ongoing description of his body's losing fight against the disease.
		Jarman's own piercingly poetic words are spoken by the filmmaker himself and by John Quentin, Nigel Terry and Tilda Swinton.

		As with all Jarman's work it is experimental, telling the story of the philosopher's life in episodic sketches.

	Jim's Reviews - Sebastiane
		That latter quality is especially important, because Jarman and Humfress deal with some dauntingly complex themes, as important now as seventeen hundred years ago, including the meaning of spirituality, the place of sexuality in life, and the contradictory nature of reality.
		Jarman, of course, was already both an acclaimed painter and impassioned gay rights advocate before becoming a filmmaker.
		Jarman and Humfress's visionary film makes a fascinating, and perhaps even the most aesthetically and emotionally complex, addition to the long tradition of works about Saint Sebastian.

	Derek Jarman Biography
		When Derek Jarman died of AIDS-related causes in February 1994, his death was widely reported in the national press.
		Jarman's story stretches from the bleakness of post-war Britain and his peripatetic RAF childhood to studenthood at the Slade and work as a designer for such figures as Frederick Ashton, John Gielgud and Ken Russell.
		It is also the story of sexual fear and repression, the devastation of a disease, inimitable courage and grace in the face of protracted and painful death, and a love as singular as any of the films or the garden which Jarman has left as one of his many legacies.

	The Films of Derek Jarman
		When experimental director Derek Jarman was serving as production designer on 1973's The Devils, that film's director, Ken Russell, was already established as a radical master of the biopic, turning historical and pop culture personalities into grist for his own obsessions and visual quirks.
		The acting is unusually passionate for Jarman, with the three leads all doing some of their most striking work; while Swinton and Bean have ultimately proven themselves many times over since, it's a shame Terry has mostly been relegating to supporting roles and TV work.
		Though his death at the age of 52 passed with little fanfare, director Derek Jarman forever changed the way filmgoers look at the relationship between sound and image on film.

		One of controversial gay filmmaker Derek Jarman's final efforts, WITTGENSTEIN affords filmgoers a generous taste of his sensibilities in the form of a humorous, highly stylized portrait of one of the 20th century's most influential philosophers.
		From the onset, the British filmmaker puts his distinctive stamp on the life of Ludwig Von Wittgenstein, engineering a terrific opening sequence in which viewers are introduced to various overdressed members of Ludwig's exceedingly eccentric--and filthy rich--family.
		Sadly, Jarman succumbed to AIDS on February 19th, 1994 after a lengthy, heroic battle with the illness.
