WeTransfer presents: BLUE NOW

Russell Tovey and Neil Bartlett on the significance of Derek Jarman’s last film “Blue”

In this short film by Dionne Edwards, a homage to Derek Jarman’s final film, actor Russell Tovey and director Neil Bartlett visit Maison Bertaux, a centuries-old patisserie in London’s Soho where Derek used to sit in the upstairs room with tea and cake while working on his art.

Sitting at the table that Derek would often frequent (and where Neil sat and wrote part of his first book) the pair reflect on their first experiences of Derek Jarman’s seminal and final film, and explore how Derek used his sexuality as activism and discuss just why the film has a transformative effect on those who watch it.

Some of the greatest moments in my Life was performing BLUE with Simon Fisher Turner - In Brighton, Paris (Pinault Collection), Austria, London (Serpentine Gallery) ... Blue is engraved in my heart and on my arm.
