Derek Jarman (1942–1994) was an English film director, artist and writer known for experimental films such as Blue and Jubilee.

Jarman made experimental and avant-garde films from the 1970s until his death in 1994; collaborators on Blue and related projects included Tilda Swinton, Brian Eno, Coil and Simon Fisher Turner.

Two DeBaser reviews praise Derek Jarman's experimental approach. Blue is discussed as an image-music-voice work with a saturated blue frame and layered soundtrack. Jubilee is read as a punk-inflected social critique and modern-cinema milestone.

 "Music is the true pillar upon which the entire cinematic phenomenon has developed, what of the film replaces and constitutes the depth"

 Derek Jarman wants to make us understand in this film that punk is not just pure immediacy; punk is like pornography: you fall in love with it, you like it at first, it seems scandalous but then you get used to it, it’s not scandalous, this is just human.
