BLUE, 1993, film by Derek Jarman

This is Jarman’s last film made in the months before he died and chronicling his AIDS-related illness and sight impairment.  The 79-minute experimental film consists of a single shot of vivid blue accompanied by a soundtrack and various interwoven voices. The blue is a direct reference to Yves Klein’s blue known as “International Klein Blue”.

The film is currently on display at Tate Britain, London
