In his final—and most daring—cinematic statement, Derek Jarman the romantic meets Jarman the iconoclast in a lush soundscape pulsing against a purely blue screen. Laying bare his physical and spiritual state in a narration about his life, his struggle with AIDS and his encroaching blindness, “Blue” is by turns poignant, amusing, poetic and philosophical.


The screening is introduced by Laetitia Morais and Xavier de Sousa.
