About this product
Product Information
Derek Jarman was the most important independent filmmaker in England during the 1980s. Using emblems and symbols in associative contexts, rather than conventional, cause-and-effect narrative, he created films noteworthy for their lyricism and poetic feeling and for their exploration of the gay experience. His style of filmmaking also links Jarman with other prominent directors of lyric film, including Pier Paolo Pasolini, Andrei Tarkovsky, Jean Cocteau, and Jean Genet. This pathfinding book places Derek Jarman in the tradition of lyric film and offers incisive readings of all eleven of his feature-length films, from Sebastiane to Blue. Steven Dillon looks at Jarman and other directors working in a similar vein to establish how lyric films are composed through the use of visual imagery and actual poetry. He then traces Jarman's use of imagery (notably mirrors and the sea) in his films and discusses in detail the relationship between cinematic representations and sexual identity. This insightful reading of Jarman's work helps us better understand how films such as The Last of England and The Garden can be said to cohere and mean without being reduced to clear messages. Above all, Dillon's book reveals how truly beautiful and brilliant Jarman's movies are.

Reviews
As a sensitive and intelligent look at Jarman's films, Dillon's book is essential reading, and offers a compelling examination of the life and work of one of hte cinema's most gifted artists, who created a new world for himself and his peers, a world of light, reflection, and desire., "Steven Dillon's rich, expansive book may be the definitive treatment of the work of Derek Jarman. . . . The book is well researched, well written, theoretically informed, and remarkably perceptive of the range and feeling in Derek Jarman's films." James Morrison, York University, Toronto, author ofPassport to Hollywood: Hollywood Films, European Directors"Dillon moves seamlessly from one complex thematic idea to another, knitting a convincingargument through an intertwining and layering of his observations and theories on the lyric andpoetic in the cinema. Dillon's book is a valuable contribution to the existing scholarship onDerke Jarman's films . . . "--FILM INTERNATIONAL 15, 2005:3
