This documentary shows the mindset of the some of the most original and influential artists of the experimental scene (Coil, Current 93, Foetus, Test Dept.). An unprecedented insight into the workings, the methods and the ideas that made these names legendary. Filmed in Hamburg, Amsterdam and London, 1985-1987.
Original Music Composer
The Angelic Conversation is a lyrical, haunting film about a young man’s search for love, in a dreamlike landscape. Offscreen, Dame Judi Dench recites a sequence of Shakespeare sonnets, that counterpoint the action. Jarman called it, “My most austere work, but also the closest to my heart.”
himself
Documentary featuring Peter Christopherson discussing his histories with Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV, and Coil - the much missed groundbreaking band he would form with his lover Jhon Balance and develop over decades. Coil came to its end with the tragic and futile November 2004 death of Balance, a death that Peter and many others had feared was coming.
