In 1986, Derek Jarman (1942-1994) run "The Last of England "has already shot five feature films, including" Sebastian "(1976) and" The Angelic Conversation "(1985), in subsequent years" Edward II "(1991) and" Wittgenstein "(1993) will come out around the narrow festival, handing him over to a more reliable reputation, and in 1993 finally turned "Blue", now blind due to complications from AIDS. During the production of "The Last in England" with the help of his collaborator Keits Collins wrote a text which was released a year later, a sort of rough draft of processing more than the script, which was later reworked in "Kicking the Pricks," which came out posthumously in 1996. And 'This is the text that now translates Alet, tying it to the DVD of the film. Film and book are intertwined with each other by clarifying the, not only in the book talking about the film, but the narrative elements, which are barely mentioned in the film, in the book are carrying out a more relaxed, though in a style of building that is too 'it, like the film, rhapsodic, the result of corrections and additions, according to a method which Keith Collins gives an account in a brief introduction, the text engages a triangulation between author, film and public interest. Many materials of the book before the movie, others originate from the same processing, and others who follow him like a trail of interpretation, a reworking focused on creative practice, in a match between what will become seamless image on the screen, and what produces it. But step on paper, even the same materials, allows more space in memory, breath, even anger, formalized in the film since the coldness, the text is more shrill, wavering between fear and invective. The book resonates for a radical love, and congenital irrepressible for England, taken as a homeland even when it turns out terrible, "It 's a war does not matter if I lose a battle, someone else will win the war," Jarman acts on rubble of a destroyed country, waste of the Empire, the liberal Thatcher the shame of the Falklands War, in pursuit of redemption. "I was thinking how lucky we were to be forewarned of his death, in order to rewind the tape of life in order." Jarman was diagnosed in 86 HIV-positive test for HIV. The fear and pain that this news causes innervate the entire text, and the idea of their country and the idea of their bodies overlap each other in a continuous return.
"It's not a single crocus bloomed this spring, all carefully shredded bills from assassins. But that does not stop me. Like all true gardeners, I'm an optimist. "
