It's no cliche to say an artist lives on through their work
19 February 2019 will mark 25 years since Derek Jarman's untimely death at just 52, but the legacy of this iconoclastic filmmaker lives on. The BFI's second Limited Edition Blu-ray collection, a lavishly packaged 6-disc box set, brings together Jarman's last six features, made in the prolonged burst of creativity and political activism that followed his HIV diagnosis in 1987.
All the films are presented in High Definition for the first time in the UK and range from the audacious anger of The Last of England (1987) to the astonishing experimentation of Blue (1993).
Also included is Jarman's posthumously-released elegy to Super 8, Glitterbug (1994), along with an incredible 66 special features - both new and archival, plus trailers, image galleries of rare stills and promotional materials and a 100-page perfect bound book of essays, film credits and more. The 6-disc Limited Edition Blu-ray box set will be released on 25 February 2019.
