The Last of England
Why this pick
Jarman’s shattered, image-led elegy shares The Garden’s apocalyptic beauty, political grief, and collage-like movement between private pain and national nightmare.

02
The Angelic Conversation
Why this pick
Its slow-motion male desire, Super 8 texture, and Shakespearean voiceover extend The Garden’s devotional, dreamlike approach to queer imagery.
03
Blue
Why this pick
A radically spare audiovisual meditation on illness, memory, and mortality, it carries the same AIDS-era sorrow and uncompromising poetic sensibility in an even more stripped form.
04
Caravaggio
Why this pick
The deliberately anachronistic tableaux, sensuous lighting, and collision of sacred imagery with queer desire make this a close visual and emotional companion.
05
Looking for Langston
Why this pick
Julien’s lush black-and-white reverie similarly turns queer history and desire into stylised, non-linear visual poetry rather than conventional narrative.
Finding the atmosphere, tension and little details that made this one stay with you.
