About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A. : Overlook Press, 1994,. Very Good/Unknown. Octavo, softcover, near fine in black and white pictorial wraps. Illustrated by B & W Photos. Gay sexuality in the repressed 40's to the libidinous 60's to AIDS epidemic. British filmmaker, author, AIDS activist, and all-around cultural upstart, Jarman has written a moving, visually evocative memoir of his life and times. One of the first filmmakers to project an unabashed gay sensibility onto screen, Jarman creates here a montage of autobiography, interviews, and social history that shifts back and forth through time, resulting in an intriguing portrait of his personal and artistic growth from the 1940s to the present. Jarman is able to distill the essence of an era with just a few well-chosen anecdotes. He is outraged at what he sees as the complicit passivity of the British government's response to the AIDS epidemic. 154 pp.
