<B>Derek Jarman’s <I>Blue</I> weaves a sensory tapestry that serves as both a political call to action and a meditation on illness, dying, and love.</B><BR><BR>“For <I>Blue</I> there are no boundaries or solutions.” —Derek Jarman<BR><BR> Originally released as a feature film in 1993, the year before the acclaimed artist and filmmaker Derek Jarman’s death due to an AIDS-related illness, <I>Blue</I> is a daring and powerful work of art. The film and its script, as reproduced in this volume, serve as an impassioned response to the lack of political engagement with the AIDS crisis. <BR><BR> Jarman’s <I>Blue</I> moves through myriad scenes, some banal, others fantastical. Stories of quotidian life––getting coffee, reading the newspaper, and walking down the sidewalk––escalate to visions of Marco Polo, the Taj Mahal, or blue fighting yellow. Facing death and a cascade of pills, Jarman presents his illness in delirium and metaphors.
