In the Shadow of the sun (Derek Jarman, 1980)

[Fitzcarraldo]

[quote]Other more complex rituals may be found in what was perhaps Jarman’s substandard masterpiece of the entire period: In the Shadow of the Sun. The keys of a typewriter; a man takes some photos; a fire that burns and is superimposed upon human figures seen from the back, faces, and filtered landscapes; a man with a candelabrum walks, then claps his hands; a person with a white hood meanders through sand dunes; the silhouette of a plant; a gentleman with a top hat; finally, here comes death, a startling skull on a wide white dress. These are some figurative fragments, ghostly presences that emerge from a texture in constant transformation. Jarman’s suggestive alchemical symphony is dominated above all by fire, the key element upon which all the others converge: from the water sparkles that seem like snow, to the gaseous clouds in the film’s final part. All accompanied by Throbbing Gristle’s extraordinary music, made of metallic reverberations and sonorous undulations - a liquid hypnotic music that perfectly underscores the ancient and modern, classical and experimental echoes which nourish Jarman’s kinetic art.
