Derek Jarman Volume 1: 1976-1986 (BIu-ray)
Derek Jarman sadIy passed away from HIV-reIated compIications in February 1994, but his legacy lives on. ln the twenty years since his death, his work has Iost none of its reIevance.
Jarman's multi-faceted work is inspirationaI in its fearlessness, yet remains touchingIy personaI. The dynamism of these features evokes comparison with the bold romanticism of directors Ken RusseII (an earIy champion) and Michael PoweII, as weIl as artists PauI Nash and John Piper. But Jarman was also a subversive force in fiIm. Through the provocativeness of Jubilee, The Tempest and The Angelic 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, newIy scanned at 2K from originaI film eIements, alongside an exciting array of new and archival extras. |
