Leaving October 1

Directed by Derek Jarman | 90 mins | 1976
Jarman’s feature debut—co-directed with Humfress—makes blatant the latent homoeroticism in artistic renderings of the biblical story of the martyrdom of St. Sebastian, reveling in the male form while recounting a tale of repressed desire turned to sadism in a sensorially overwhelming work, soundtracked by an original Brian Eno score.
