MOVIE DESCRIPTION:

    Sebastiane - Jarman's feature film debut, a slyly lurid and exquisitely poetic historical drama about the martyrdom of St. Sebastian, lays bare the latent homoeroticism that has always lurked beneath the glossy surface of Hollywood biblical epics. A psycho-sexual hothouse of desire and religious longing, Sebastian is a visually bold work that is a milestone in modern queer cinema. The Tempest - Jarman adapts Shakespeare's last great work as an intricate comedy of magic and revenge that is at once faithful to the spirit of the play and a dazzling spectacle mixing Hollywood pastiche, high camp and gothic horror. War Requiem - "A stunning visual and serious musical treat" (variety), Jarman's 1989 film reunites British cinema's enfant terrible with his muse Tilda Swinton for a spectacular and moving interpretation of Benjamin Britten's groundbreaking 1961 orchestral masterpiece. Features Sir Laurence Olivier in his final screen appearance. Derek - In Isaac Julien's fascinating documentary, Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton personally conducts an intimate cinematic commemoration of the life, times and work of Derek Jarman. Includes clips from 17 Jarman films.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
REVIEW:
  • Extraordinarily powerful, War Requiem is a passionate eulogy, an antiwar statement that is also clearly intended to have relevance for those whose lives have been forever touched and changed by the scourge of AIDS. While Benjamin Britten purists may argue -- and justifiably so -- that director Derek Jarman's work sometimes obscures or is at odds with the music, those who are open to what Jarman is doing will see that he is making a brilliant transfer from one medium (the oratorio) to another (film). It is true that his choice of images is sometimes jarring or puzzling (and even, on occasion, overtly sentimental); but these lapses are more than compensated for by sequences that impress, that dazzle, or that overpower. This is an intense, spellbinding work, and if it falls short of perfection, it is marked by keen, deeply-felt emotions and stamped with a unique, unmistakably personal vision. Those who are willing to meet it on its terms will likely find it a profoundly moving experience. ~ Craig Butler, Rovi
