Description
Derek Jarman's final journal, Smiling in Slow Motion, chronicles his life from May 1991 until just before his death in February 1994. Written with humour and candour, the book offers a unique insight into Jarman's experiences as he navigates his final years of film-making, gardening, and radical politics. From the comfort of his Charing Cross Road flat to his garden at Dungeness and finally from his bed in hospital, Jarman reflects on his deteriorating health and the loss of friends. Yet this is not a straightforward chronicle of illness and regret; instead, it is a testament to Jarman's enduring spirit, determination, and pride. With an introduction by Neil Bartlett, Smiling in Slow Motion provides a poignant and thought-provoking account of one artist's final years.
