Directed by Derek Jarman • LGBTQ+ • 1986 • UK • English
Starring Nigel Terry, Garry Cooper, Tilda Swinton
Derek Jarman's profound reflection on art, sexuality and identity retells the life of the celebrated 17th-century painter through his brilliant, nearly blasphemous paintings and his flirtations with the underworld. The painter's precise aesthetic makes up the movie's visuals, and touches Jarman's major concerns: history, homosexuality, violence and the relationship between painting and film.
