Derek Jarman的花园位于肯特郡的Dungeness，一座木屋矗立在开阔地上，面对着核电站。他将镜头在花园中晃了一圈制作出这部宗教讽刺作品。
一位女性，似乎是圣母玛利亚，生了孩子，身陷一群狗仔摄影师中。她想逃走。两个男性，他们是情人，结了婚，后来被捕。电影探讨了基督教，媒体，警察暴力，广告业，同性恋情及其压制，家庭，老龄，艾滋病以及Jarman自己的一些问题。
Uncompromising, experimental, but above all poignant,here is an extraordinary journey of artistic depth - Derek Jarman style!
Half waking dream and half fiery polemic, The Garden was born of maverick queer director Derek Jarman’s rage over continued anti-gay discrimination and the sluggardly response to the AIDS crisis - he had been diagnosed HIV positive in 1988.
Starring Tilda Swinton, this uniquely kaleidoscopic film shows the filmmaker’s genius at its most sparkling, making space in its breadth of vision for an over-the-top Hollywood-style musical number, nightmare images of tar-and-feather queer persecution, and footage of the particularly menacing-looking nuclear power plant that overlooks Jarman’s own garden, the point from which his film begins, and a cherished spot which he must keep to tending even as his body begins to betray him. Writhing with sorrow and anger, and yet so vividly alive to the loveliness of being, The Garden is a baleful and beautiful epistle from the brink of the beyond.（G5V.NET）
