Product Description
Filmed in the stark environs of Derek Jarman's coastal home in the shadow of Dungeness power station, The Garden is a powerful and moving series of allegorical dreamscapes. The narrative unfolds to find Jarman asleep at his desk, surrounded by Christian imagery. His dreams transpose New Testament events into a contemporary context, examining repressive attitudes towards homosexuality, the AIDS crisis and exploring Jarman s own feelings towards the Church. Featuring a brilliant score by Simon Fisher-Turner, The Garden is a visual tour-de-force from the acclaimed director of Sebastiane and Jubilee .

Synopsis
Derek Jarman and a compilation of scenes which explore his feelings on the attitudes expressed by others on topics such as homosexuality, the Church and AIDS.

5.0 out of 5 stars a garden of hauntingly beautiful tablaux, 21 Nov 2005
The Garden is a collagefilm, combining images, shot on super 8 with a soundtrack by long time collaborator Simon Fisher Turner that consists of music, noises, soundcapes and spoken words; it's a sort of follow up to Jarman's The Last of England (1987) in which he used the same techniques. The result is nevertheless nothing like 'the same' but inspiring new and of a staggering beauty. A gay couple represents Jesus and through a series of surreal and absurd visuals, the passion and condemning of Christ is being represented. There is no story told out loud, it's within the subconscious of the movie itself, and within that of the viewer. Never has a 'homemovie' been so professionally done that is is suitable for a large (cinema) audience, and yet, it's still one of the most personal cinematic confessions a filmmaker can create; in this paradox lies its true power.
