Summary
Half waking dream and half fiery polemic, this film was born of director Derek Jarman's rage over continued anti-gay discrimination and the slow response to the AIDS crisis. This kaleidoscopic film shows the filmmaker's genius at its most coruscating, making space in its breadth of vision for an over-the-top Hollywood-style musical number, nightmare images of tar-and-feather queer persecution, and footage of the particularly menacing-looking nuclear power plant that overlooks Jarman's garden
