Why four stars?-because technically DVDs do not allow a command "OFF subtitles". Lacking of English text makes watching a bit uncomfortable, but it is really a good set Jarman's works of which mix of a historical data with contemporary miscellanies stipulates advance comprehending of context.
Edward II: The story revolves around King Edward's open homosexuality, which eventually led to his murder and succession. Instead of lush historical settings, the film uses bare walls and dirt floors and puts the cast into smart suits.
Caravaggio: Caravaggio traveled among thieves and prostitutes, many of whom were his models. He once killed a man, kept a deaf/mute child as a virtual slave, and squandered every penny he ever made.
Blue: In Blue, the color blue is all there is to see as Jarman tries to bring the audience into his vision-impaired world. Jarman offers his insights on life, love, disease, the meaning of art, and the symbology of the color blue over a blue screen.
The Angelic Conversation: The story is about the love between two men (portrayed by Paul Reynolds and Philip Williamson), seen against a backdrop of bleak industrial cityscapes or abstract landscapes.
