{"product_id":"films-of-derek-jarman","title":"Films of Derek Jarman","description":"\u003cp\u003e   Derek Jarman's films explore the possibilities and limitations of same-sex love and self-expression during various historical eras, ranging from ancient Egypt to present times. His work covers a millennium of sexual repression and efforts to escape it. Jarman provides us with a cinematic history of people whose homoerotic passions had a major impact on western civilization in religion, art, politics, philosophy, and war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   This book provides background information on each of Jarman's fifteen scripts and films. The chapters are \"program notes\" to his films from a historical perspective. An interpretation of Jarman's intentions, gleaned from the director's writings and works about him, is also provided. This work reveals Jarman's importance as a keen student of the limits of historical knowledge, and delineates the role of history in inspiring change or preserving inertia in the present struggle against homophobia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54254424523096,"sku":"9780786414307","price":36.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780786414307_9afe2aa8-44a5-4c1d-9777-d6f61a958cef.jpg?v=1764939622","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/films-of-derek-jarman","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
