The Last of England (film)

Common card · No. 412949

The Last of England is a 1987 British arthouse film directed by Derek Jarman and starring Tilda Swinton. It is a poetic depiction of what Jarman felt was the loss of traditional English culture in the 1980s and his anger about Thatcher's England, including the formation of Section 28 of the Local Government Act. It is named after The Last of England, a painting by Ford Madox Brown. Jarman wrote a book, with the same title, to accompany the film.
