The Garden Derek Jarman (1990)

A nearly wordless visual narrative intercuts two main stories and a couple of minor ones. A woman, perhaps the Madonna, brings forth her baby to a crowd of intrusive paparazzi; she tries to flee them. Two men who are lovers marry and are arrested by the powers that be. The men are mocked and pilloried, tarred, feathered, and beaten. Loose in this contemporary world of electrical-power transmission lines is also Jesus. The elements, particularly fire and water, content with political power, which is intolerant and murderous.

@GoblinGirl I was able to get both this and the Last of England,from Amazon a couple of weeks ago for about £6 each, I hope that helps.

This is Jarman's best work, along with The Last of England. It is NOT on DVD, which is ridiculous. I have an old VHS copy, but I've played it many times and worn it out.

I read the diary about making this film. to see it makes it all the more special.

What a shame that such a beatiful film is censored
