Smiling in Slow Motion is Derek Jarman's 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 film-making,
gardening and radical political protest. Written from Jarman's Charing
Cross Road flat, his famed garden at Dungeness, and finally from his
bed in St Bartholomew's 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.
