This highlight of Tilda’s seven-year collaboration with Derek Jarman finds her as Isabella of France, spurned by the titular king. As Edward II sets his marriage, reputation, and citizenship on fire to pursue hot gay sex with his favourite Piers Gaveston, Tilda writhes and burns and schemes. Jarman reinterprets Christopher Marlowe’s early-1590s play with anti-Thatcherite flair. He wrote that “heterosexuals have fucked up the screen so completely that there is hardly any room left for us to kiss there,” but Edward II sets the record straight.
