CGiii Comment

Listening to Ron Peck comment on the decline of film and filmmakers is...a joke...Empire State...need we say more?!?

The biographer is a vicarious bore.

Tilda is a tad controversial - unsurprisingly.

And, those ridiculous Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence...shut them up.

Basically, it's just a overtly complimentary profile - revealing nothing new to those in the know - but, for those just getting to know Jarman...it's a decent narrative.

Whether you love or hate Jarman's work...there is one thing that he did do...he made films - with little or no money...and, in that sense, Jarman was a true filmmaker.


No trailer...
