Made by Derek Jarman when he was dying of AIDS, this marvelous gift is a minimalist, home-movie biography of the logical positivist philosopher. The same as Jarman, Wittgenstein was London-based and homosexual and movie-mad (he loved Westerns and Carmen Miranda), and he died desperately frustrated. in the middle of his work. But this movie is rarely self-pitying. In fact. Jarman’s elegy (to Wittgenstein, to himself) is sprightly, inventive, an entertaining string of sketches, piano interludes, and blackouts.
