Directors' Directory

JARMAN, Derek

The gay Spike Lee. Scourge of the establishment. Would think nothing of making a Pig Latin musical in which Michelangelo is transported to twentieth century Bermondsey starring Bill Grundy, Christopher Biggins and Adam Ant. His films may not be to everyone’s taste, but they provide an invaluable record of the fluctuating weight of the young Toyah Wilcox. Without him, the fledgling Channel Four would have had to close down at 10PM on many an occasion. In a debate on censorship, lighten the tone by mentioning the ‘half-mast Harold’ in Sebastiane.
