Movie Info
Filmed entirely in vulgar Latin, this experimental film recounts the life of Sebastiane, a puritanical but beautiful Christian soldier in the Roman Imperial troops who is martyred when he refuses the homosexual advances of his pagan captain. When this film was released, it was the only English-made film to have required English subtitles, and it is an early film by the noted experimental and outspokenly homosexual director Derek Jarman, who died in 1994. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Derek Jarman looks at Sebastian and sees what Botticelli (and Perugino, Reni and Mishima) saw, the lambent space between spiritual and sexual longing

An out-and-proud Spartacus and a pre-AIDS Beau travail, all in one.

[It] treads an almost imperceptible line between using devout fidelity to ratify its source and using rampant infidelity to undermine it.

St. Sebastian, as reimagined in Derek Jarman's wildly homoerotic imagination.

[center][/center][center] [/center][center]I believe that Sebastiane[color=palegreen] is probably one of the only 'Rated X' films that I've seen that I'd review here on RT. Directed by the gay-rights activist [/color]Derek Jarman, Sebastiane is the story of Saint Sebastiane - whom I believe is the patron saint of homosexuality. The movie shows Sebastiane out in the desert with about 10 other guys who have been exiled to this remote post after falling out of favor with the king. Running around naked practically the whole time, and basically having nothing to do, these men start to get bored and restless. The centurion who is keeping watch over and in control of the men is a homosexual and he wants Sebastiane in a bad way. Sebastiane does not give in, so the centurion has him killed. Sebastiane is by far one of the worst, most boring films I've seen in a long time. I highly recommend never seeing it...the only reason I did is because my friend had to watch it for her Cultural Heritage course.[/center][center] [/center][center]Director: Derek Jarman[/center][center]Rated: X[/center][center]*1 Jarman Film Viewed[/center][center]'No Stars'[/center] February 17, 2006
