In EDWARD II, director Derek Jarman revisits Christopher Marlowe's play of bloodletting and royal intrigue, bringing the homosexual theme to the forefront. Steven Waddington stars as Prince Edward II, who upsets England's noblemen by sharing his throne with his commoner lover, Gaveston (Andrew Tiernan). Tilda Swinton costars as Edward's scorned wife, Queen Isabella, whose seething jealousy and hatred lead her into the arms of Mortimer (Nigel Terry), a power-hungry nobleman who seeks to topple Edward's reign. Jarman focuses on the passionate romance between Edward and Gaveston in this tragic tale of desire and persecution. Jarman's sparsely designed film combines period and modern costumes to evoke a timeless quality--Isabella is dressed like a 20th-century upper-crust socialite, while Edward and Gaveston wear simple period attire. A series of mazelike stone corridors and open rooms theatrically convey the castle where the royals fight for the throne. Jarman cuts between the Edwardian castle and more mode... Minimize

Frank sexuality in an odd mixture of Elizabethan and modern contexts

by paulsavage , Feb 2, 2009

Pros: Acting, set, costume, and general look and feel.

Cons: For those bothered by openly gay sexuality, something to avoid.

The Bottom Line: Edward II is an AIDS issue film, but using Marlowe's play to do this, so the message is secondary to the play and the way the actors take it on.

Review: With the exception of his last film (Blue a total conceptional nightmare where there is a blue screen and all you get is talking), I’ve finished all of Derek Jarman’s films. Edward II is my penultimate review for ...

Edward II: Mixed Messages?

by FauxBear , Jan 8, 2001

Pros: Visually stunning; superior acting; Annie Lennox!

Cons: Director's message nebulous

The Bottom Line: Edward II is masterful and visually striking. Unfortunately, it's message is ambiguous at best. It gave me a lot to consider and I can recommend it on that basis alone.

Review: In preparing to write this review, I discovered that I've seen not one of Derek Jarman's films, but three. I liked the other two quite a lot, but I'm not sure about "Edward II". Based on a play by Marlowe, the interpretation here has caused me much...
