Synopsis

Derek Jarman's silent avant-garde film offers a visual experience composed of superimposed images that come together to form a cohesive whole. The film features a palette dominated by reddish tones, with random imagery of Egypt and the pyramids. It includes a strange garden periodically destroyed by a man wielding a whip, a young man at peace relaxing on the floor, and other scenes of insects smoking and eating. The film presents Jarman's interpretation of the Garden of Luxor and its enigmatic qualities.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
