In his final - and most daring - cinematic statement, Derek Jarman the romantic meets Derek Jarman the iconoclast in a lush soundscape pulsing against a purely blue screen, laying bare his physical and spiritual state. OK, I get it. BLUE is VERY experimental, but in its short running time and minimalist style, it punches you in the test. This is abstract but deeply personal, intimate, gut-wrenching filmmaking. RIP to this incredibly gifted director.
BLUE is now available to stream on The Criterion Channel.
