DEREK JARMAN'S BLUE

Derek Jarman’s final film was completed months before the artist’s death from AIDS-related complications, which had rendered him partially blind. Blue ’s deep monochrome image is accompanied by Jarman’s reflections on his life and the ravages of illness. But Blue is not only elegiac and diaristic; at times the film is angry, philosophical, and prosaic. It is communal, featuring the voices of friends and collaborators.

As ever with Jarman, it is compositionally complex, with a score incorporating music from Coil and Eric Satie with the film’s polyvocal narration.
