"For some, Jarman was too much of a Renaissance man, aggressively dragging the arts of the painter and poet into his films. These collected scripts, though, show his pure talent; he writes passionately about often bitter things, what he called the #x18;pornographic darkness#x19; of his work. From his features to experimental Super 8 films, Jarman#x19;s theme was always them-and-us, yet behind all the layered symbolism of sexuality and repression, there is compassion and humour." -Tobias Jones, Observer Review.
