Derek Jarman's Blue did not explode onto the cinematic world in the full \nglory of Hollywood hype. When the film was premiered at the Venice \nBiennale in June 1993, McDonald's didn't organize a special promotion of \nblue hamburgers, and Coca-Cola stuck to its red-colored cans and browncolored \ndrink. Nor were there dozens of photographers hustling for the \nbest shot of the sexiest star as the audience gathered at the Palazzo de \nCinema. No, the screening of Jarman's film passed quietly-just Jarman \nhimself, a single reporter, a small audience, and seventy-six minutes of \nunchanging blue celluloid backed by a soundtrack about the director's \nexperience of living and dying with AIDS
