    Filmed in the stark environs of Derek Jarman's coastal home in the shadow of Dungeness power station, The Garden is a powerful and moving series of allegorical dreamscapes. The narrative unfolds to find Jarman asleep at his desk, surrounded by Christian imagery. His dreams transpose New Testament events into a contemporary context, examining repressive attitudes towards homosexuality, the AIDS crisis and exploring Jarman s own feelings towards the Church.

    Derek Jarman himself said that "it's complicated to know what we've actually made this time" when talking about The Garden - which doesn't leave much hope for the rest of us. Even by this famously abstruse director's standards it's a challenging work.

    The film takes its title from the garden Jarman started to build when he moved to Dungeness in the late 1980s after being diagnosed with AIDS. The strange plant combinations and rock formations he devised form the major backdrop to the work -together with the looming bulk of Dungeness nuclear power station and the huge stony beach that it lies on. It's a dramatic and eerie setting and Jarman makes the most of its fierce beauty to ensure that, if nothing else, this film is visually staggering. If it catches you in the right mood, this should be enough in itself to provide a very rewarding cinematic experience.

    In the wrong mood, however, you'll look at your watch after three hours have passed and realise that the thing has only been playing for 20 minutes. It's glacially slow and the fractured dreamscape which has replaced conventional narrative is all but impenetrable.

    There are a few discernable themes. The religious implications of 'the garden' are explored to the full and Jarman has suffused the film with biblical imagery. There's an occasional, almost-coherent narrative that forms a gay retelling of the fall of man and the passion of Christ complete with a male Mary Magdalene (Leigh) and a leathered-up biker Judas.

    The Jesus figure, covered in lesions, allows Jarman to embark on a moving and disturbing exploration of the stigma of AIDS. There are also some frequently amusing and more often unsettling riffs about repressive attitudes towards homosexuality and several stark reminders of Jarman's own illness and imminent death. Individual scenes can be powerful and compelling - the largely silent Tilda Swinton lights up the screen and there's an unforgettable sequence featuring a gay couple being covered in molasses and feathers.

    Much of the work is simply baffling, however, and the barrage of long, slow, repetitive and incoherent sequences take their toll. It takes buns of steel to sit though the whole deliberately discordant jumble without getting restless.

    An admirable and uncompromising film full of stark beauty and haunting imagery, but a trying viewing experience.
