Blue is the last film of director Derek Jarman (1942-1994). At the time when he made the film, he was blind and dying of AIDS.

The film is his last testament as a film-maker, and consists of a single shot of saturated blue colour filling the screen, as background to a soundtrack where Jarman describes his life and vision.

The soundtrack ends with the words:

In time 
No one will remember our work 
Our life will pass like the traces of a cloud 
And be scattered like 
Mist that is chased by the  
Rays of the sun 
For our time is the passing of a shadow 
And our lives will run like 
Sparks through the stubble. 
I place a delphinium, Blue, upon your grave
