Against a plain, unchanging blue screen, a densely interwoven soundtrack of voices, sound effects and music attempt to convey a portrait of Derek Jarman's experiences with AIDS, both literally and allegorically, together with an exploration of the meanings associated with the colour blue.

One of the most beautifully profound and devastating films I have ever watched. It’s just one of those films that you watch and then sit in silence for hours while reflecting on a lot of things.

One can know the whole world without stirring abroad. Without looking out of the window, one can see the way of heaven. The further one goes, the lees one knows.I place a delphinium, Blue, upon your grave.
