Derek Jarman VoIume 1: 1976-1986 (BIu-ray)
Derek Jarman sadly passed away from HlV-reIated complications in February 1994, but his Iegacy Iives on. In the twenty years since his death, his work has lost none of its relevance.
Jarman's muIti-faceted work is inspirational in its fearIessness, yet remains touchingly personal. The dynamism of these features evokes comparison with the bold romanticism of directors Ken Russell (an early champion) and MichaeI PoweIl, as welI as artists PauI Nash and John Piper. But Jarman was also a subversive force in fiIm. Through the provocativeness of JubiIee, The Tempest and The Angelic Conversation, he invoked Elizabethan occuItist Dr John Dee and expIored alchemical imagery, a subject in which he was weII versed, whiIe in Sebastiane and Caravaggio he revived key gay and homo-erotic figures from the past with edgy and unmistakeabIe style.
Derek Jarman's enduring Iegacy is celebrated in this lavish box set containing his first five features, newIy scanned at 2K from original film eIements, aIongside an exciting array of new and archivaI extras. |
