Just finished watching - thanks for the heads-up, saved me digging up the DVD

I watched the DVD!

I watched neither the broadcast nor DVD this afternoon. Trouble is, if I watch one Jarman film I tend to get hooked and follow up with several others, starting with The Tempest, which was the first of his films I saw. There again, watching his The Tempest might just act a a fillip for me to watch Prospero's Books and Taymor's The Tempest. No chance of me descending into digging out the doggerel ridden Adès opera, however. Safer just to recall the Jarman War Requiem to mind's eye and ear.

Hello there,

I must admit to having been underwhelmed by War Requiem on its release. The one Jarman film I do remember is The Last of England - which I saw back in the 80s. I've downloaded it recently and will have to see whether it holds up. Also need to track down "Blue"

Best Wishes,

Tevot
