The Last of England. Derek Jarman. 1988.
What a tour de France. I mean force. I did see this back in the 80s, and it’s still as powerful as back then.
I still don’t get the cauliflower scene.

TSP1987: Friendship’s Death
Friendship’s Death. Peter Wollen. 1987.
I feel a bit bad about the dice up there, but I just don’t think this piece is that good. I mean, it’s interesting (it’s about the Palestinian conflict reemagined as an alien robot conflict thing (sort of)), but…
This film isn’t available on DVD, but it’s available from the British Film Institute (if you have the proper VPN set up) or other parts of the interweb if you dare search (some of those sites are downright janky).

TSP1987: Aria
Aria. Various directors. 1987.
It’s an anthology film, so some bits were good and some were… less good?

TSP1986: Egomania
TSP1986: Zastrozzi: A Romance
This is quite mad, this is. There are several scenes I found riveting, but for long stretches (especially the scenes with Verezzi), I kinda lost interest.
I enjoyed the langudity of it all, though.
Zastrozzi: A Romance. David G. Hopkins. 1986.
