Strange Currencies 14/11/2024: Derek Jarman
Season 1 Episode 6
In this week's episode, we discuss a couple of films directed by Derek Jarman. Connor attended a retrospective of his work at ACMI.
Derek Jarman (1942–1994) was a groundbreaking British filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist whose unapologetically queer, provocative work was tragically cut short by AIDS-related illnesses. His films blend his diverse talents in writing, painting, stage design, costuming, and gardening, with themes ranging from the occult and anachronism to militant gay rights activism. In this week's episode, we discuss and politely disagree with one another about two of his films: Caravaggio (1986), and Wittgenstein (1993).
