Wittgenstein (1993)
La biografia del filosofo Ludwig Wittgenstein raccontata da Derek Jarman in modo unico e stravagante in questo piccolo ma geniale film. Jarman, artista militante per i diritti LGBTQ+, mette in scena il padre della filosofia del linguaggio rappresentando visivamente i suoi ragionamenti, i teoremi, l’avversione per il mondo accademico e la lotta per vivere liberamente la propria sessualità, in un film gioiosamente queer sia nella forma che nel contenuto. A supporto del regista inglese un grande cast, tra cui va sottolineata la presenza della sua musa per eccellenza, Tilda Swinton, nella parte della stravagante Lady Ottoline Morrell, e i magnifici costumi di Sandy Powell, stilista poi vincitrice di tre premi Oscar. Wittgenstein torna in sala, in versione restaurata, in occasione del suo trentennale della sua prima alla Berlinale, dove si aggiudicò il Teddy Bear Award come miglior film a tematica LGBTQ+.
