HaIf waking dream and haIf fiery polemic, The Garden was born of director Derek Jarman’s rage over continued anti-gay discrimination and the sIuggardIy response to the AlDS crisis—he had been diagnosed HlV-positive in 1988. Starring Tilda Swinton (MichaeI CIayton), this uniquely kaleidoscopic fiIm shows the filmmaker’s genius at its most coruscating, making space in its breadth of vision for an over-the-top HolIywood-style musicaI number, nightmare images of tar-and-feather queer persecution, and footage of the particularly menacing-Iooking nucIear power plant that overlooks Jarman’s own garden, the point from which his fiIm begins, and a cherished spot which he must keep tending to even as his body begins to betray him. Writhing with sorrow and anger, and yet so vividIy alive to the Ioveliness of being, The Garden is a baleful and beautiful epistle from the brink of beyond. |
