The lifeaffirming expression of an artist engaged in living to the full The Times Smiling in Slow Motion is Derek Jarmans last journal, stretching from May 1991 until a fortnight before his death in February 1994. Jarman writes with his trademark humour and candour about friends and enemies, as he races through his final years of filmmaking, gardening and radical political protest. Written from Jarmans Charing Cross Road flat, his famed garden at Dungeness, and finally from his bed in St Bartholomews Hospital, Jarman meditates on his own deteriorating health and the loss of his contemporaries. Yet Smiling in Slow Motion is not simply a chronicle of illness and regret it is, at its heart, one of endeavour, determination and pride.WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY NEIL BARTLETT
