(1991, 15, Second Sight)
Two of British maverick director Derek Jarman's most accomplished films are interpretations of Jacobethan texts. One is his magical 1979 treatment of Shakespeare's The Tempest (in which the masque takes the form of Elisabeth Welch performing "Stormy Weather" with a chorus of camp matelots). The other, shot while Jarman was dying of Aids, is this sombre modern dress version of Christopher Marlowe's Edward II (in which Annie Lennox sings Cole Porter's "Every Time We Say Goodbye" as the eponymous king parts from his lover, Piers Gaveston). Unfolding in flashback as Edward (Steven Waddington) awaits his execution, the film pares Marlowe's play to the bone and stages it on a claustrophobic set of unscalable walls and sand-covered floors. With dramatic lighting by Ian Wilson and striking costumes by Sandy Powell, subsequently a multiple Oscar and Bafta winner, the movie contains graphic, horribly painful violence, finds strong parallels...
