An incredibly radical film that goes beyond the gimmicks of William Castle’s Emergo, beyond the boredom of Warhol’s Empire, beyond the theories of Lars von Trier’s Dogme 95.

Blue reaches new minimalist level of what colour film can do when it is framed within the sound of sadness.

Before the screening, John Waters will be in conversation discussing how he made his choice of these six British films, what almost made the list and what definitely wouldn’t.

UK 1993

Directed by Derek Jarman

With voices of John Quentin, Nigel Terry, Derek Jarman, Tilda Swinton
