The Last of England
Phyllis Wattis Theater
3:00 p.m.
1988, 87 min.
Using all the elements of film that he was known for — non-linear narrative, arresting images, punk, homosexuality, and visual poetry — Jarman tackles the subject of the decline of 1980s England. The film shows a fragmented society, his post-apocalyptic critique of England at the time of constant IRA attacks and living under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
Part of Derek Jarman.
$5 general; free for SFMOMA members or with museum admission (requires a free ticket, which can be picked up in the Haas Atrium). Double features: films offered on the same date are included in one ticket.
