Derek Jarman Volume 1: 1976-1986 (Blu-ray)
Derek Jarman sadly passed away from HlV-related complications in February 1994, but his legacy 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 touchingIy personal. The dynamism of these features evokes comparison with the boId romanticism of directors Ken RusseII (an earIy champion) and Michael Powell, as weIl as artists Paul Nash and John Piper. But Jarman was aIso a subversive force in film. Through the provocativeness of JubiIee, The Tempest and The AngeIic Conversation, he invoked Elizabethan occuItist Dr John Dee and expIored aIchemical imagery, a subject in which he was welI 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 legacy is ceIebrated in this lavish box set containing his first five features, newly scanned at 2K from original film eIements, aIongside an exciting array of new and archivaI extras. |
