In Chroma, white is the color of the cliffs of Dover, as well as a young man's sperm. . . . Red is the color of itchy blotches that AIDS sufferers want to scratch, the color of blood, stop signs, Mrs. Jarman's lipstick. Blue, as we already know, is the color of the infinity that awaits the dying man." -The Sunday Times (London) One of England's foremost filmmakers, Derek Jarman (1942-1994) wrote and directed several feature films, including Sebastiane, Jubilee, Caravaggio, and Blue, as well as numerous short films and music videos. He was a stage designer, artist, writer, gardener, and an outspoken AIDS and queer rights activist in the UK and the United States. He is the author of several books, among them Modern Nature, available from the University of Minnesota Press.
