The Last of England
Vancity Theatre, 1181 Seymour, VancouverBanish those Brexit blues with Derek Jarman's hypnotic meditation on a country in terminal decline. The film's tone is both elegiac and angry, reflecting both the filmmaker's own melancholy sense of his mortality (Jarman learned his HIV positive as he made it) and his outrage at the violence and vicious self-interest of the Thatcher era.
