Starring Tilda Swinton, Spencer Leigh, Nigel Terry
An apocalyptic roar of a movie, Derek Jarman's “The Last of England” stars Oscar winner Tilda Swinton in his lament for the country he once knew and what he feared it would become. A kaleidoscopic view of England, filled with rage at Margaret Thatcher's conservative reign and haunted by the continuing scourge of AIDS, this film is both deeply personal and grimly historical.
