This weekend Last Of England set out in search of another Last Of England. The artist and filmmaker Derek Jarman made in 1987 a feature entitled Last Of England. It starred Tilda Swinton and was Jarman’s poetic depiction of what he felt was the loss of traditional English culture in the 1980s.
Jarman lived at Prospect Cottage, Dungeness Headland on the coast of Kent. Dungeness is a bleak but eerily beautiful expanse of shingle and is classified as Europe’s only desert.
