CGiii Comment
Mr Jarman did not like Mrs Thatcher.
This is anger at its most visceral...it's probably too subjective to be intellectualised. Let the debate begin...
Political film-making as inaccessible as this is will never change the status quo...because, it's not rocket science, if it's inaccessible crap...people won't watch it...regardless of the academic enthusiasm.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
The artist's personal commentary on the decline of his country in a language closer to poetry than prose. A dark meditation on London under Thatcher.
