Kylo R Feb 22, 2017 Blue is a unicolor requiem to a director robbed of his sight, a cinematic composition of his illness and imminent demise. See more

Kylo W Feb 10, 2017 Derek Jarman's last theatrical feature, made while he was dying of AIDS-related complications mirrors his fading eyesight by filling the screen with a solid shade of blue for the entire running time. Over the colour field, Jarman talks about his illness and his background, reflecting on his imminent death among other topics. The most common negative reaction to this film is that it's "not really a movie" due to the monotonous visual component, but it's not fair to say that the blueness serves no purpose. It puts you into Jarman's shoes to some degree and serves to help you focus on what he is saying and feel some of the force. I personally think it's a beautiful film. See more
