Smiling In Slow Motion

More about the book

<p>Derek Jarman's Smiling in Slow Motion concludes the journey started in Modern Nature; these previously unpublished journals stretch from May 1991 until two weeks before his death in February 1994. Part diary, part observation, part memoir, Jarman writes with his familiar honesty, wry humour and acuity. Friends, collaborators and enemies are catalogued as he races through his last year painting, film-making, gardening, and annoying his targets through his involvement in radical politics.</p>
