THE LAST OF ENGLAND

Part of GLITTER & ASH: A DEREK JARMAN RETROSPECTIVE FILM SERIES, Co-Presented by Out Film CT

Screening Saturday, January 18, 2026, 2:00 PM @ The Wadsworth

Synopsis: Fragments of love, loss, and fury collide in this lament for a nation consumed by Thatcherism, AIDS, and memory’s erosion, where home movies melt into apocalypse. The artist’s personal commentary on the decline of his country in a language closer to poetry than prose. A dark meditation on London under Thatcher.

Painter, provocateur, and poet of queer cinema, Derek Jarman created works that burn with sensuality and rage. Presented alongside the exhibition Gerald Incandela: Photographic Drawings., this retrospective honors the artist’s enduring eye for light, memory , and transformation.
