About this product

Product Information

In EDWARD II, director Derek Jarman revisits Christopher Marlowe's play of bloodletting and royal intrigue, bringing the homosexual theme to the forefront. Steven Waddington stars as Prince Edward II, who upsets England's noblemen by sharing his throne with his commoner lover, Gaveston (Andrew Tiernan). Tilda Swinton costars as Edward's scorned wife, Queen Isabella, whose seething jealousy and hatred lead her into the arms of Mortimer (Nigel Terry), a power-hungry nobleman who seeks to topple Edward's reign. Jarman focuses on the passionate romance between Edward and Gaveston in this tragic tale of desire and persecution. Jarman's sparsely designed film combines period and modern costumes to evoke a timeless quality--Isabella is dressed like a 20th-century upper-crust socialite, while Edward and Gaveston wear simple period attire. A series of mazelike stone corridors and open rooms theatrically convey the castle where the royals fight for the throne. Jarman cuts between the Edwardian castle and more modern images of gay-rights marches, creating a subversive commentary on the ever-present struggle for acceptance and equality. The film also features vocalist Annie Lennox singing Cole Porter's "Every Time We Say Goodbye."

  • Edward II's Open Gayness, Assassination & Succession

    If you're into history of British Royals, this film may not be satisfying. But, if your interest is in the gay social contexts, then see this film about Edward II. This film is about King Edward II's open gayness. There are no posh historical settings; no kingly frills; just modern days grunge. The walls are bare. The floors stained with filth. The cast wears suits. Of course, since the issue of the film is Edward II's gay sexuality and everyone's reaction to it, it's a Royal assassination and succession story. History is taken out of time and context and brought into focus for now. Annie Lennox sings, "Every Time We Say Goodbye," composed by Cole Porter. A social commentary during the high point of director Derek Jarman's career, it was filmed just 2 years before he died of HIV-AIDS. ...
