Smiling in Slow Motion

Written between May 1991 and February 1994, and ending just two weeks before his death from an AIDS-related illness, Derek Jarman’s entries in __Smiling in Slow Motion__ pick up where __Modern Nature__ left off. Friends and enemies are reviewed as he races through his last years painting, filmmaking, gardening, and annoying his targets through his involvement in radical politics. Infused throughout with familiar honesty and wry humor, __Smiling in Slow Motion__ is a document of endeavor, remembrance, and love.
