DEREK JARMAN
The Last of England

Japanese First Edition
UPLINK, 1988

The Last of England, Derek Jarman's fourth feature film, is a poetic meditation on Britain under Margaret Thatcher. Produced to accompany its release in Japan, this publication extends Jarman's fragmented vision through black-and-white photographs by Mike Laye and Japanese texts. It reflects a pivotal moment in Jarman's career as his work reached an increasingly international audience, while marking the emergence of UPLINK as one of the country's leading independent film publishers. It remains one of the most desirable printed objects associated with Jarman's late 1980s work.
