GENRE Biography

DIRECTOR Derek Jarman

NOTES Biography of the famous Austrian philosopher (Tractatus

Logico-Philosophicus and Philosophical Investigations) who

lived most of his life in England.

I suspect that Jarman is more interested in his homosexuality

but the film does show his death from prostrate cancer aged

62.
