BLUE

In the organizer's words:

GB 1993, experimental film, 74 min.

Directed by Derek Jarman.

With: Voices of John Quentin, Tilda Swinton, Nigel Terry, Derek Jarman.

Language: OV (English).

In his last film, British filmmaker, painter and writer Derek Jarman resolutely confronts his illness, which is slowly making him blind and which will inevitably lead to his death, with a screen open on all sides - it is blue, and nothing else except the soundtrack - a powerful poem of sounds, texts and music. BLUE is without doubt an aesthetic, intellectual and emotional challenge. A movie where each person watching it is responsible for what they see and what they don't see. And no, this is not a technical error, BLUE is actually blue. But if you get involved with the film, you can be rewarded with something special - radical freedom in the interpretation of art.

BLUE is part of the program accompanying the exhibition CINEMASHER by Judith Meister and Dean Wallflower. Like HORSE MONEY, BLUE is both the point of contrast and, in a way, the philosophical basis for the installation.

BLUE is undoubtedly an aesthetic, intellectual and emotional challenge. A movie where each person watching it is responsible for what they see and what they don't see.
