The Garden

Directed by Derek Jarman

A woman, perhaps the Madonna, brings forth her baby to a crowd of intrusive paparazzi; she tries to flee them. Two men who are lovers marry and are arrested by the powers that be. The men are mocked and pilloried, tarred, feathered, and beaten. Loose in this contemporary world of electrical-power transmission lines is also Jesus.

The Garden is one of Derek Jarman’s most personal and visually powerful works, combining religious imagery, gay persecution and the AIDS crisis into a dreamlike cinematic lament. Its fragmented form is demanding, but the anger and beauty are extraordinary.
