THE GARDEN official US re release trailer

Back in theaters starting May 28 Half waking dream and half fiery polemic, The Garden was born of director Jarmans rage over continued antigay discrimination and the sluggardly response to the AIDS crisishe had been diagnosed HIV positive in 1988. Starring Tilda Swinton, this uniquely kaleidoscopic film shows the filmmakers genius at its most coruscating, making space in its breadth of vision for an overthetop Hollywoodstyle musical number, nightmare images of tarandfeather queer persecution, and footage of the particularly menacinglooking nuclear power plant that overlooks Jarmans own garden, the point from which his film begins, and a cherished spot which he must keep to tending even as his body begins to betray him. Writhing with sorrow and anger, and yet so vividly alive to the loveliness of being, The Garden is a baleful and beautiful epistle from the brink of the beyond. A Zeitgeist Films release in association with Kino Lorber
