His work covers a millennium of sexual repression and efforts to escape it. Jarman provides us with a cinematic history of people whose homoerotic passions had a major impact on western civilization in religion, art, politics, philosophy, and war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book provides background information on each of Jarman's fifteen scripts and films. The chapters are \"program notes\" to his films from a historical perspective. An interpretation of Jarman's intentions, gleaned from the director's writings and works about him, is also provided. This work reveals Jarman's importance as a keen student of the limits of historical knowledge, and delineates the role of history in inspiring change or preserving inertia in the present struggle against homophobia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46897625464983,"sku":"9780786414307","price":3709.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786414307.webp?v=1770363681","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-films-of-derek-jarman-9780786414307","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
