  So this is supposed to be somekind of art? If you ask me i would say that Jarman was just another art house director like Guy Maddin or Quay Brothers who made weird and challenging films for the sake of oddness and for the sake of being called artist. If there ever was supposed to be somekind of a hidden meaning or symbolic way of expressig frustration or any other emotions here i most definetly don't find it in The Last of England. This film is truly awful example of art film gone horribly wrong. I guess it is a matter of taste in the end. If these kind of fragmented images without any content is your cup of tea then you might find it even something interesting to watch. I just don't see why for example man making out with a painting would stand as a anykind of statement or art. This is just horribly boring and frustrating experience to sit through.

  An impressionistic portrait of decaying late-80s Britain by avant-garde filmmaker Derek Jarman, THE LAST OF ENGLAND is an obscure and highly personal mixture of poetry, music, overlapping dialogue, and ever-shifting, manipulated, distorted images. Poetic and highly impressive, but after ninety minutes of rambling beauty mixed with tedium, it reminds you why shorts are the preferred vehicle for abstract experimental films.

  [font=Century Gothic]Directed by Derek Jarman, "The Last of England" is different from his other films that I have seen("Edward II", "Wittgenstein" & "Caravaggio") which all had a minimalist aesthetic. This is certainly a unique movie which consists almost entirely of footage showing a postapocalyptic landscape, sometimes through a red filter, but also flashing back to to happier times and New York City. There is no real story to speak of, just some narration to convey alternating emotions of sadness and anger. The images are so intense that the overall effect is quite mesmerizing. [/font]

  Very interesting film illustrating the revolution of England and how ppl are revolting against the political issues. Its made like an experimental film so its very artistic. Not suitable for all viewers because some of its content but still worth a shot.
