Sebastiane About
Sebastiane

Jarman has a knack for adding incongruous elements in his films (trains in Caravaggio anyone?) so the historically accurate questions are not important. But, my oh my, this is a great film. The cinematography is one of the best I have seen. The blocking and compositions in the last scene is immaculate. Sebastiane's performance bothered me a bit. I suppose that's the worst part, but it is not a deal breaker.

    Many elements of the film; the screenplay, sound, music, and performances, directing, editing are all incredible. I loved the atmosphere and mood created. Not a traditional queer film (maybe except for the gratuitous nude scenes, but even those don't feel forced), but then again, no art film usually is.
