    Try as I might I can’t get into Jarman. Incredibly courageous and influential, though, and New Queer Cinema stands on his shoulders. But two fun facts about the film -

    • The title is in the vocative because he thought they’d really be pressing their luck with the last four letters of “Sebastianus”

    • When asked why there was so much nudity, Jarman responded “We couldn’t afford costumes.”
