“Derek Jarman's filmic essay on his own blindness and impending death is a monochromatic elegy to a director's loss of vision.” - Anton Bitel, Film4

“Blue remains an intense and moving tribute to the woman at its centre who, in coming back from tragedy, almost refuses, but ultimately accepts the only real love that's on offer.” - Derek Malcolm, The Guardian

In his final and most daring cinematic statement, Derek Jarman the romantic meets Derek Jarman the iconoclast in a lush soundscape pulsing against a purely blue screen, laying bare his physical and spiritual state.
