Graphically brutal, moving, surprisingly funny and always erotic, Jarman blends Marlowe's prose with contemporary jargon and costumes, replete with positive portrayals of queer sex, profanity and ACT-UP activists for a truly mesmerizing experience.

Brilliant, daring and innovative, Edward II is contemporary filmmaking at its finest, one of the best examples of modern queer cinema, and a must for serious film-lovers.

Not only one of the director's greatest, but one of the best examples of "New Queer Cinema." Jarman has reworked Christopher Marlowe's play into a homoerotic, sexually charged, radically relevant work for our times. Steven Waddington stars as the tragic King Edward, Andrew Teirnan as his beloved Gaveston, Nigel Terry as the villainous Mortimer and Tilda Swinton is the jealous and destructive Queen Isabella. One of the film's most surprising sequences occurs when Annie Lennox appears crooning Cole Porter's classic "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye," the piece she performed in the AIDS benefit "Red, Hot and Blue."
