Smiling in Slow Motion
Product Description 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. -

Smiling in Slow Motion
Part diary, part observation, part memoir, Smiling in Slow Motion concludes the journey begun in Modern Nature. These previously unpublished journals stretch from May 1991 until two weeks before the author’s death in February 1994. -
以卵击石
1986年,德里克•贾曼拍摄了影片《英伦末日》(有很多自传性),这是他最原创的,最具技术革新的电影,也是其最个人化的作品。拍摄开始后,贾曼也开始这部日志的写作,其中包括日记和访谈,以及剧本的批注,影片拍摄剧照,和他个人及其家庭、友人的照片。在书中,贾曼描写了他不同寻常的童年,如何面对自己的性取向;充斥着性与放纵的六、七十年代的生活;作为一个导演的崭露头角。这是他继《舞蹈礁》《现代自然》《自承风险》之后,第四部引人注目的日志,呈现出非常多样化和创造性的生活的全部细节。 -
现代自然
这是备受争议的英国电影导演贾曼公开出版的第三本日记,其品质卓绝超过之前出版的两部日记《跳舞的暗礁》及《自承风险》。在这些写于1989年至1990年的日记中,贾曼讲述了在他被诊断为艾滋病毒阳性后的最初四年里,他如何完全沉湎于邓杰内斯海边小屋的花园里。夹杂于其种植的描述中,是令人陶醉的关于植物和花草的知识。作者按照真实的原貌,回首童年往事以及20世纪60年代的校园生活,而不是用当下何等怀旧的狂热去粉饰它们。坦诚的评述,真挚动人,贾曼技艺娴熟地运用它们,如同在其电影中驾驭影像一样,去再现一个场景或者标注一个句点。尽管结尾戛然而止令读者悬念陡生,但这仍不失为一本罕见的非凡之作。
