I don't think we've had this Brit.

Would this be Saint Derek of Dungeness?

aka Derek Jarman (British film director, stage designer, artist and writer)
For more information see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Jarman
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0418746/
http://jclarkmedia.com/jarman/
As to the canonization:
"On Sunday, September 22, 1991, the local order of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence guided Derek Jarman into his garden where, after a sweet and solemn ceremony, they canonized him — Saint Derek of Dungeness of the Order of Celluloid Knights."
It's your turn now NW.

I vividly remember watching Sebastiane just after it came out: I think it was the first arthouse movie I'd seen that featured extensive male nudity ...
And I was *forced* to concentrate on the visuals - it wasn't the fact that all speech was in Latin that threw me, but the fact that the scheme of latin pronounciation was not the one I'd been so painstakingly taught back in the 1960's (so I could almost-but-not-quite understand it: a most irritating state of things).
I actally met Jarman a couple of times, at events such as screening some of his movies for some of the Uni. gay societies around 1980 (I seemed to be the only gay student projectionist at that time). I found him interesting, larger than life, but ultimately (for me) not terribly likeable ... rather like the movies, in fact. Nevertheless, his untimely death was a great loss to independant british film.
I'll post another person later tonight or tomorrow - have to check the list to see who we've already had.
