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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Pencak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786414308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786414307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.04w x 0.57d","brand":"William Pencak","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962513412351,"sku":"9780786414307","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b4d63228-4530-4b88-9e3b-b3bfada6e925.jpg?v=1750651675","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-films-of-derek-jarman-william-pencak-9780786414307","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
