Derek Jarman's Sebastiane

This is a short extract from the Derek Jarman's first movie: Sebastiane. Filmed in latin and full of hot naked guys jumping all over the screen. This is perhaps the only scene where the characters are not nude.

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.

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...

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.

This is a beautiful and mesmerizing film.

[GodmyX]

The latin is broken.... 1:38 meum pectum capit <- WHAT the fuck? pectus, pectoris 1) third declension... 2) neuter; ergo "meum pectus capit" ... but w/e ... they shuold have hired a real latinist.

[TheOperatrance]

Amazing film and ahead of its time.

@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.

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.

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.
