520 |a In this new restoration of the iconic New Queer Cinema classic, Derek Jarman offers a postmodern take on Christopher Marlowe's Elizabethan drama. Pleasure-seeking King Edward II sets the stage for a palace revolt by taking as a lover the ambitious Piers Gaveston - who uses his favor in bed to wield political influence - sending the gay pair from the throne to a terminal torture dungeon. This landmark of gay cinema features an incredible performance from Jarman muse and **Oscar**-winner Tilda Swinton as Edward's spurned Queen Isabella and a rare film appearance by singer Annie Lennox. Winner of the FIPRESCI, Teddy and Best Picture Award at the **Berlin International Film Festival.** Winner of the the Volpi Cup for Best Actress at the **Venice International Film Festival.** Official Selection at the **Sundance Film Festival**. *"...in its scrupulous austerity and sensitivity to its materials, one of the most exquisite movies ever made." - Dave Kehr, **Chicago Tribune***
