Derek Jarman, Director
British filmmaker Derek Jarman (CARAVAGGIO) presents a highly stylized adaptation of Christopher Marlowe’s notorious Elizabethan drama about the 14th century English king (Stephen Waddington) who risks everything for the love of his best friend (Andrew Tiernan). By bringing the sexual politics into the foreground and setting the film in an indeterminate historic moment — characters wear modern dress yet dwell in castles — Jarman makes the drama both timely and timeless. Costarring Tilda Swinton as the cold and deadly Queen Isabella.
