Blue (1993)

This artwork can hardly be called the film in our usual sense of the word. It is a revelation. This is a mystery. Something strange and very sad. The perfect combination of story, music and sounds. This is recognition. It's real art. Art of our imagination combined with the narration of the director. Amazing experience! This film must see everyone, who truly loves cinematography. I read reviews about this film on different sites. Many believe that it is not even a movie. But we must understand that any film - it is only a story, it is speaking, which is expressed in the image. All have long drowned in the language. Words are no longer connected with things. This film perfectly reflects this logic. And I like it!

How do u talk about this film. the only way is 2 go against the film maker and get the cd, or if you have the movie, close your eyes and be one with life.Derek jarman is a god 2 me, but listen 2 blue, u will fall in love with the world.at the 1994 Oscars, i waited when they showed the people who we lost, jarman was not there. unforgivable. but then chicago is a better movie than gangs of new york.I love the IMDb, but who has listened 2 blue ?Í place a delphinia, blue, upon ur grave.

Blue is here emptiness, emptiness is blue; blue is no other than emptiness, emptiness is no other than blue; that which is blue is emptiness, that which is emptiness is blue. The same can be said of red, orange, yellow, green, indigo and violet.All things here are characterized with emptiness: they are not born, they are not annihilated; they are not tainted, they are not immaculate; they do not increase, they do not decrease. Therefore, in emptiness there is no blue, no red, no orange, no yellow, no green, no indigo, no violet; no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind; no form; no film, sound, color, taste, touch, objects, no element of vision, till we come to no element of consciousness; there is no knowledge, no ignorance, till we come to there is no old age and death, no extinction of old age and death; there is no suffering, no accumulation, no annihilation, no path; there is no knowledge, no attainment, no realization, because there is no attainment.

Derek Jarman's final work is perhaps his most unusual. The visuals are nothing but a solid screen of bright blue. The soundtrack is a montage of sound effects, voice overs, and music. The dialogue is Derek Jarman's coming to terms with himself, and his terminal illness.Some will find the whole affair a pretentious bore. Others will find it a moving farewell from a groundbreaking British film-maker who was completely blind by the time the film was completed. He broke the rules, especially with this film, and it's probably how he wanted to be remembered.
