  • Amazing film and ahead of its time. 

  • I want to watch this movie... I want to learn Latin like everyone else learns a language, but the schools keep teaching it the most inefficient way... write it all down! Take notes!

    While the other German students from across the hall can formulate any sentence within a few seconds, us Latin students take an entire 10 minutes to conjugate, make the declension, etc etc. But no, we barely do any English to Latin in our class, and we translate Latin to English all day. No speaking tests either.

  • @wc1hater

    Try googling "Latinum Adler". There are mp3 files based on an old conversational Latin textbook. All free. This is NOT spam.

    Handy thing to have on your ipod.

  • derek jarma

  • Ave Deus auri solis, terra et caeli coniuncti sunt auro. Pecte capillos tuos, radios aureos lucis. In manibus ardent rosae sumae voluptatis. Rota volvitur uno giro, ventilata quattuor ventis. Hirundo ab oriente orta est, portae patent. Corpus tuum, corpus formosum, nudatum, initiatum rebus occultis procedit. Venustas illa, colores discernens, terrarum in orbe prodet. Ave Deus, magnare (?) ignis, venustas tua meum pectus capit.

  • nice film on acid...the sun shines brighter

  • Where can I watch the whole movie?

  • This is not Jarmans first film, his first is "In the shadow of the sun". Its an abstract featcher length film i think shot on super 8, its a great film with a soundtrack by Throbing Gristle.

  • sorry but that's untrue. i don't know if this is jarman's first feature, but in the shadows of the sun came out in 1980. this film was before that and before jubilee (1977). this film was released a year before jubilee.

  • Sorry but in the shadow of the sun was filmed while he was in colage, it was shot never to be seen, especially as a featch. In 1980 he collected what he was showing around partys art shows etc and put it all together. Yes Sebastiane did come first .

    Cool! please, teach me more, you'll never imagine how deep nostalgy I feel for Derek's work but I'm so far in time and space. I'd loved to encouraged him to share his art, that sublime inner part of him... no reason to be shy...

  • Wow you rude.

  • Strange but fascinating movie. Particularly, I love Richard Warwick role. I've dedicated to him my website, since he was so underrated in his life! What a pity him and Jarman already disappeared!! Feel free to write to me for the address.

  • Anyone got a clip of the "Age, Oedipus" joke?

    I saw this film years ago, and remember bursting in to laughter when the subtitle came up: "Come on, motherfcuker!"

  • there was also the reference to Mammea Morgana = Chesty Morgan.

  • This is a beautiful and mesmerizing film.

  • All hail jarman. Mind you, despite hus claim to being the gay hero: he was a bit of an elitist snob: a whole movie in "classsical latin" (which was never a spoken language): the thrux thereof was the sexual tension with the "rough" characters. Actually, perhaps I'm being too harsh. The guy is definately a cinematoc genious: but I'm much prouder of Peter Greenaway.

  • Who dares to say what art is good or bad? isn't that a way of facism? And I never saw Jarman waving the gay flag for everybody were saying he was a "gay hero". Derek's works are very unknowed; for instance I'm in Mexico and is bloody hard finding his movies. I won't claim he is THE BEST film maker in the world but I just want to joy his art: this blessed experience of senses...

  • If someone else likes it very good if not world is wide and free. By the way I want to remember John's Cameron Mitchel film "short bus" I just Loooveeed it but here in Mexico was unnoticed. We have some cinemas for gay films but none has played his films nor Jarmans they put other kind of movies of pure sexual nature with titles like: "CyberSex in the Garden" does this tell you something???

  • LATIN WAS spoken in the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. It was also the de facto international language of science and scholarship in mid and western Europe until the 17th century.

  • @maraki1000 so what?

  • Spellbinding!
