This book gives detailed and original critical readings of all
eleven of Derek Jarman's feature-length films, arguing that he
occupies a major and influential place in European and world cinema
rather than merely being a cult figure. It places particular
emphasis on the importance of Renaissance art and literature for
Jarman, and emphasises his interest in Jungian psychology. Wymer
shows how Jarman used his films to take his audience with him on an
inner journey in search of the self, whilst remaining fully aware
of the dangers of such a journey. Making substantial use of
Jarman's unpublished papers as well as all his published works,
Wymer argues that the films are orientated towards a much wider
audience than is often supposed. They are addressed to anyone, of
whatever gender or sexuality, who is prepared to go on a journey in
search of him or her self and to become Jarman's accomplice in 'the
dream world of the soul'. -- .
