''Blue'' is the twelfth and final feature film by director Derek Jarman, released four months before his death from AIDS-related complications. Such complications had already rendered him partially blind at the time of the film's release. The film was his last testament as a film-maker, and consists of a single shot of saturated blue colour filling the screen, as background to a soundtrack where Jarman's and some of his favourite actors' narration describes his life and vision. On its premiere, on 19 September 1993,〔http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/492515?view=transmission〕 Channel 4 and BBC Radio 3 collaborated on a simultaneous broadcast so viewers could enjoy a stereo soundtrack. Radio 3 subsequently broadcast the soundtrack separately as a radio play and it was later released as a CD. The film has been released on DVD in Germany and in Italy. On 23 July 2007 British distributor Artificial Eye released DVD tying ''Blue'' together with ''Glitterbug'', a collage of Jarman's Super 8 footage. Cinematographer Christopher Doyle has called ''Blue'' one of his favourite films, calling it "one of the most intimate films I've ever seen."〔Johnston, Sheila (19 Apr 2005) (''Film-makers on film: Christopher Doyle'' ) telegraph.co.uk〕 ==See also== * List of avant-garde films of the 1990s 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blue (1993 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
