Description

Derek Jarman's films explore the complexities of same-sex love and self-expression across various historical eras. Spanning over a millennium, his work examines the impact of sexual repression and its attempts to be overcome. This book provides an in-depth look at each of Jarman's fifteen scripts and films, offering background information and interpretation from a historical perspective. The author draws on Jarman's writings and works about himself to gain insight into the director's intentions and the role of history in shaping our understanding of the present struggle against homophobia. By examining Jarman's films through a historical lens, this book sheds light on the importance of his work as a student of the limits of historical knowledge.
