Jubilee (1977) - Derek Jarman


I was 15 before I realized I was dead.
Without progress life would be unbearable. Progress has taken the place of Heaven.
In those days, desires weren't allowed to become reality. So fantasy was substituted for them - films, books, pictures. They called it 'art'. But when your desires become reality, you don't need fantasy any longer, or art.
