Blue (1993) BFI 1080p BluRay x265 10bit FLAC 2.0 - Cabiria

Jarman’s final film, completed shortly before his death, meditates on the experience of AIDS with unflinching clarity, against a single field of blue. Blue ’s deep monochrome image is accompanied by Jarman’s reflections on his life and the ravages of illness. But Blue is not only elegiac and diaristic; at times the film is angry, philosophical, and prosaic. It is communal, featuring the voices of friends and collaborators. As ever with Jarman, it is compositionally complex, with a score incorporating music from Coil and Eric Satie with the film’s polyvocal narration.
