Derek Jarman's family, friends and closest collaborators recall the life and genius of one of Briatin's greatest film-makers - featuring clips, stills and a gorgeous use of Super 8. "Understand that your morality is not law," said Derek Jarman. A good maxim for a filmmaker whose life and work is explored in this loving documentary. Avant-garde in method but nostalgic in temperament, he's remembered by family and friends like Tilda Swinton and Nigel Terry. Excellent use of Super 8 blends with revelatory stories, not least his wish to cast Terry-Thomas as Ariel in The Tempest!

Reviews
Matialth

Good concept, poorly executed.

Holstra

Boring, long, and too preachy.

Pacionsbo

Absolutely Fantastic

Voxitype

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
