The Angelic Conversation (film)
The Angelic Conversation is a 1985 arthouse drama film directed by Derek Jarman. Its tone is set by the juxtaposition of slow moving photographic images and Shakespeare's sonnets read by Judi Dench. The film consists primarily of homoerotic images and opaque landscapes through which two men take a journey into their own desires.
Jarman himself described the film as "a dream world, a world of magic and ritual, yet there are images there of the burning cars and radar systems, which remind you there is a price to be paid in order to gain this dream in the face of a world of violence."
The soundtrack to the film was composed and performed by Coil, and it was released as an album of the same name. In 2008 Peter Christopherson of Coil (with David Tibet, Othon Mataragas and Ernesto Tomasini) performed a new live soundtrack to the movie during a special screening at the Turin Lesbian and Gay Film Festival.
The film's music track also includes Benjamin Britten's "Sea Interludes" from Peter Grimes, performed by The Chorus and Orchestra of The Royal Opera House Covent Garden, conducted by Colin Davies.

The Conversation
by: Steel Pole Bath TubHey, it's me, how are you,

God it's great to see you, you look good,

So many things I want to ask you,
So many things I wish I had said
But it seems so unreal, like this fog in my head

This is like this conversation
Never and kiss and wish from the lips of
The dying on their way
Never lose the dream set free by the change
Always changeing of the better
It's so obscene
Like a mountain rain there in your
There in your head

It's getting light and it's late
And I think it's time for me to go
I enjoy your sleep when I'm with you,
I'm never alone
Never forget me or the things
That I said
Never forget my dreams and
I will always make them in your head
