Karl Johnson, Michael Gough, Tilda SwintonSummary: Written by radical literary theorist Terry Eagleton but heavily reworked by Derek Jarman, WITTGENSTEIN is a bold, offbeat biography, personalised in Jarman’s unique style to address the politics and sexuality of the great, troubled philosopher. The result is no dry treatise, but a treat for eyes and mind alike which boasts arresting visuals and bold performances from Tilda Swinton, Michael Gough, and Karl Johnson, who brilliantly captures Wittgenstein in all his torment and drama. Winner of Best Feature Film at the **Berlin International Film Festival**. *"One of Britain's most famous avant garde filmmakers, Derek Jarman, constructs a biopic of Viennese philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein with a bravura display of visual imagery." - Andrew L. Urban, **Urban Cinefile***
