This dvd contains Derek Jarman's last films before his death. By the time of
Blue (1993), Jarman was losing his sight and dying of AIDS-related complications.
Blue consists of a single shot of saturated blue color filling the screen, as background to a soundtrack composed by Simon Fisher Turner, and featuring original music by Coil and other artists, in which Jarman describes his life and vision. When it was shown on British television, Channel 4 carried the image whilst the soundtrack was broadcast simultaneously on BBC Radio 3. His final testament as a film-maker was the film
Glitterbug made for the Arena slot on BBC Two, and broadcast shortly after Jarman's death.
