Derek Jarman and Bo Widerberg – Impossible gardens?

Derek Jarman and Bo Widerberg – Impossible gardens?

Omnia République Rouen

The film program "Impossible gardens?" offers a sensitive journey between two works where the landscape becomes a mirror of human emotions.

Bo Widerberg's Elvira Madigan (1967) unfolds a nature with impressionistic accents: warm lights, blurs and vibrant colors accompany a love on the run, in a garden perceived as a fragile refuge and illusion of a world outside the world.

In contrast, Derek Jarman's The Garden (1990) deconstructs Eden. The garden, located opposite a nuclear power plant, becomes a space of memory, desire and resistance, both political and poetic.
