Movie Reviews of Derek Jarman Collection (Sebastiane / The Tempest / War Requiem / Derek)
Movie Review: Art and Politics Combined
Summary: 3 Stars
"The Derek Jarman Collection" is a box set containing four Jarman films. Jarman's background was influenced by both the stuffy British public school system and the intellectual freedom of the 1960's. He believed that art should be embedded in radical politics, and his canon of work combines political statements, avant garde styles, personal confessions, and reworkings of religious histories.
In "War Requiem" (1989), Jarman interprets the six movements of Benjamin Britten's "War Requiem" in graphic visuals and dialogue-free tableaus illustrating war's futility, sacrifice, and waste.
"The Tempest" (1979) is a version of Shakespeare's comedy that mixes Hollywood glamor, high camp, and gothic horror. The film's finale is unforgettable. Jarman designs and choreographs a wedding feast as a full-scale production number with Elisabeth Welch wafting her way through a chorus of hunky sailors while she belts out "Stormy Weather." "Sebastiane" (1976) is a homoerotic retelling of the saga of the martyred Saint Sebastian, and "Derek" (2008) is a documentary on Jarman, who died in 1994. Extras include three of Jarman's short films and the text of the original press kit for "The Tempest."
