About this product
Half waking dream and half fiery polemic, THE GARDEN was born of director Derek Jarman's rage over continued anti-gay discrimination and the sluggardly response to the AIDS crisis-he had been diagnosed HIV-positive in 1988. Starring Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton), this uniquely kaleidoscopic film shows the filmmaker's genius at it's most coruscating, making space in it's breadth of vision for an over-the-top Hollywood-style musical number, nightmare images of tar-and-feather queer persecution, and footage of the particularly menacing-looking nuclear power plant that overlooks Jarman's own garden, the point from which his film begins, and a cherished spot which he must keep tending to even as his body begins to betray him. Writhing with sorrow and anger, and yet so vividly alive to the loveliness of being, The Garden is a baleful and beautiful epistle from the brink of beyond.

Having lost her parents in India, pampered 10-year-old Mary Lennox (Dixie Egerickx) was delivered to the Yorkshire manor-and aloof attentions-of her distant, widowed uncle Archibald Craven (Colin Firth). As she bonds with infirm cousin Colin (Edan Hayhurst) and servant's son Dickon (Amir Wilson), they find that the hidden garden her late aunt once maintained has uncanny properties. Splendid retelling of the Frances Hodgson Burnett family classic co-stars Julie Walters, Isis Davis. 99 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.
At her wit's end with the loudly defiant teenaged granddaughter (Hayley Mills) acting out her resentments at her oft-absent mother (Elizabeth Sellars), a British matriarch (Edith Evans) opens her home to a quietly willful governess (Deborah Kerr) whose private sorrows may give her insight into her troubled charge. Splendid rendition of the Edith Bagnold play co-stars John Mills, Felix Aylmer. 106 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English; Subtitles English; audio commentary; theatrical trailer.
The story is set in 1978 on the Istranca Mountains of Thracia. Known as a healer by the villagers, Cennet's humble and quiet life is changed when she runs into a stranger, Ertan, covered in blood in the garden which she calls Secret Garden. Killing several people in a skirmish with law enforcement, Ertan has been shot while escaping. While Cennet heals the wounded stranger day by day, love that they cannot prevent begins to emerge despite their differences. Turkish with English subtitles.
