The Angelic Conversation (UK-import)
Intense, dreamlike, and poetic, The Angelic Conversation is one of the most artistic of Derek Jarman's films. With his painter's eye Jarman conjured, in a beautiful palette of light, colour and texture, an evocative and radical visualisation of Shakespeare's love poems. Judi Dench's emotive readings of 14 Shakespeare sonnets are coupled with ethereal sequences; figures on seashores, by streams and in colourful gardens.
