“Quite probably the best of Jarman's narrative features, presented in a series of spare but powerful tableaux.”—Chicago Reader
Derek Jarman's bold dramatization, in modern theatrical style, of the life and thought of the Viennese-born, Cambridge-educated philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), whose principal interest was the nature and limits of language. A series of sketches depict the unfolding of his life from boyhood, through the era of the first World War, to his eventual Cambridge professorship and association with Bertrand Russell and John Maynard Keynes. The emphasis in these sketches is on the exposition of the ideas of Wittgenstein, both a homosexual and a proud, perfectionistic thinker.
